Combined NP / minor party is the largest group in Carson City
Average non-major party voter share counties is now 33.45 percent, an increase of 0.18% from May.
With primary election turnout below 20 percent, it does not appear many voters took advantage of same-day voter registration to vote in the partisan races. (The report is not yet available) Where party membership is not required to vote in the general election, can we expect major party voter share to fall even more?
