Voter registration for April 2017 again was not kind to either the Democratic or Republican Party. Once again, they lost voter share over most demographics while the percentage of voters registered as Non-Partisan and in one of the minor parties increased.
The only bright spots for either of the major political parties were in Washoe County where the GOP gained, in the rural counties where both parties gained, and among 18 – 34 year olds where the Democratic Party gained.
