GOP Voter Share in CD2 Falls Below Combined Non-Partisan and Minor Party
Non-Partisans Now Outnumber Each Major Party By Over 100,000
By Doug Goodman -Founder & Executive Director Nevadans for Election Reform – April 3, 2025
The number of active registered voters in Nevada registered as Non-Partisan as of the end of March outnumber both the Democratic and Republican Party by over 100,000 voters. Adding those voters registered with a minor party the lead is over 250,000.
Non-Partisan registered gains across all tracked demographics. There were two events that caused some of the larger changes; Carson City did roll maintenance and the cause of the growth of voters registered as “other” was discovered and corrected.

Non-Major Party Voter Share Continues to Grow Amid Continuing Major Party Losses
By Doug Goodman -Founder & Executive Director Nevadans for Election Reform – March 4, 2025
The Nevada Republican Party slightly increased its lead over the Democratic Party in February while Non-Partisan and minor party voters continued to grow. The only exceptions, Washoe County and voters over 55 years of age.
Of note also is that in the state legislature which is currently in session, in over 50 percent of all districts, Non-Partisan hold the largest vote share; 52 percent in the senate and 54 percent in the assembly.

“Other” Category Increases Voter Share as GOP Replaces Dems in Second Place
By Doug Goodman -Founder & Executive Director Nevadans for Election Reform – February 5, 2025
January voter registration not only saw the Republican Party overtake the Democratic Party for second place behind Non-Partisan, but also saw minor parties grouped as “other” notably increase their voter share. The increase for those parties was evidenced in all tracked areas except Clark County. In the rural counties, the increase appears to come from a similar loss for the GOP.

Year Over Year, Democratic Party Loses Share While All Others Gain
By Doug Goodman -Founder & Executive Director Nevadans for Election Reform – January 12, 2025
2024 was not a good year for the Nevada Democratic Party as the final month of the year capped out a year of voter share decline. When compared to 2023, the Nevada Democratic Party was the only group to lose voter share statewide. The Republican Party, Non-Partisan, and minor parties as a group all registered a year over year gain. The results were similar, with a few exceptions, across the counties and tracked demographics.
Looking at the past five years, 2020 through 2024, the Democratic Party is down almost nine percent, the GOP down just under four while Non-Partisan has gained 11 percent and combined NP and minor parties shows a 12 percent gain.
If we go back to when the major parties were evenly split sharing over 80 percent of voter share (2000) they have both lost 12 percent voter share. Non-Partisan meanwhile has picked up 19 percent; 24 percent when adding in minor parties.

Election Time – Dems Falls Below 30% Voter Share, GOP Makes Big Jump and NP Drops
By Doug Goodman -Founder & Executive Director Nevadans for Election Reform – November 2, 2024
In the general election, party affiliation does not play a role in one’s ability to vote for candidates. However, that did not stop voters from expressing party preference in October. The Democratic Party fell below 30 percent voter share for the first time, the Republican Party registered significant gains across the board, and Non-Partisan share, while still the largest share statewide, in Clark County and among voters 18 to 54 years of age took a corresponding hit.

Non-Partisan Voter Share Drops Among Younger Voters, GOP Gains
By Doug Goodman -Founder & Executive Director Nevadans for Election Reform – October 3, 2024
Voter registration numbers for September showed something interesting, something I do not remember seeing right before a general election since I have been doing these reports. Non-Partisan voter share dropped among voters 18 to 34 years of age as well as in Washoe County, and the rurals.
Among the group of younger voters, Non-Partisan share decreased 0.30%. At the same time GOP share in that group increased 0.20%. In Washoe County, NP share fell 0.28% while minor party (other) gained 0.27% and in the rural counties, NP down 0.35%, minor party up 0.22%.
Though these changes are noteworthy, they did not impact the standing of Non-Partisan as the largest voting group in the state.

With An Almost Four Percent Drop In Active Voters, Non-Partisan Still On Top
By Doug Goodman -Founder & Executive Director Nevadans for Election Reform – September 13, 2024
With the switch to the top-down voter registration system and a major voter roll maintenance taking place, the secretary of state delayed release of August numbers; they checked and double-checked to ensure accuracy, finally posting on August 11th. The result of the maintenance effort was a drop of almost four percent (3.79%) in active voters. Party losses of actual voters and voter share reflect that.
Even with the adjustment, the trend remains unchanged. Non-Partisan voters are still the largest group of voters.

Decrease in Active Voters in Washoe and Rural Counties Impacts Voter Share
By Doug Goodman -Founder & Executive Director Nevadans for Election Reform – August 3, 2024
A loss of active voters in Washoe and the rural counties July, possibly caused by voter roll maintenance, allowed both the Democratic and Republican Party to gain voter share with Non-Partisan losing share. The same did not hold true statewide, in Clark County, and across the age demographics with both major parties continuing to lose voter share and Non-Partisan gaining. The Independent American Party also registered slight gains in voter share. How much of that was voters believing they were registering as independent (Non-Partisan) is unknown.
That did not alter the party standings; Non-Partisan continues to be the leading group of voters statewide, in Clark County, and among voters 18 to 54 years of age with the combined share of Non-Partisan and minor parties leading in Washoe. Those voters also continue to dominate in legislative districts. Non-Partisan is the largest bloc in over 50 percent of both state senate and assembly districts. When combined with minor party share, the share leads in just under 80 percent in the state senate and over 80 percent in the assembly.
