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.

Do these changes in Non-Partisan voter share give any indication of how those voters will vote or what the impact on election results will be? October numbers may give us a better idea.

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 11^th. 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.

Democratic Party Continues Voter Share Loss, GOP Not So Much

By Doug Goodman -Founder & Executive Director Nevadans for Election Reform – July 3, 2024

In addition to low voter turnout in the primary, June voter registration numbers continue to show voters abandoning both the Democratic and Republican Party with losses of the Democratic Party greater than losses seen in the GOP. Among voters 18-34 years of age, Non-Partisan voter share is closing in on 50 percent, 60 percent when combined with minor party share.

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?

Primary Election Appears Not To Impact Voter Share Trend

By Doug Goodman -Founder & Executive Director Nevadans for Election Reform – June 3, 2024

Early voting is underway in this year’s primary election, however, as has been the trend in recnt past primary elections, May voter registration numbers show no impact in voter registration trends. With that said, in addition to Non-Partisan posting the largest gains in both voter share and raw numbers, the Republican Party gained slightly among voters 18 to 34 years of age and held even in Clark County and among voters over 55 years of age.

Non-Partisan continues to be the largest voting group in the state, in Clark County, and among voters 18 to 34 and 35 to 54 years of age. Additionally when combined with minor party registration, it is the leading group in Washoe County and is just under 56 percent of voters 18 to 34.

Combined NP / minor party is the largest group in Carson City

Average non-major party voter share counties is now 33.27 percent, an increase of 0.19% from April.

After one week of early voting, turnout is low. Will those voters not registered as either Democratic or Republican take advantage of same-day registration to vote in the partisan races? We will have to wait for the numbers at the end of this month.

Primary Election Appears Not To Impact Voter Share Trend

With early voting underway, it appears voters did not switch to a major party to participate in the partisan primaries leading up to the primary election.

Following Surge in March Major Parties Return to Losing Voter Share

By Doug Goodman -Founder & Executive Director Nevadans for Election Reform – May 2, 2024

Following a surge in March, both the Democratic and Republican Party returned to the trend of losing voter share in April. In addition to a corresponding gain in Non-Partisan voter share, the Independent American Party (IAP) also recorded minor gains. Was this voters expressing an interest in the party or confusing “Independent” with Non-Partisan? Loses and gains were across the board, in all demographics tracked.

In Washoe County, Major Parties Gain Share in March

By Doug Goodman -Founder & Executive Director Nevadans for Election Reform – April 2, 2024

As campaign season gets under way, both the Democratic and Republican Party made sizable one-month gains in voter share in Washoe County during the month of March. Across all other tracked demographics, with one other exception, the normal trend of the major parties losing share along with Non-Partisan gains held. The other notable exception: among voters 18 to 34 years of age the Republican Party also gained share.

2024 One Party and Unopposed Races

During the 2015 Nevada legislative session, the legislature passed, and the governor signed Senate Bill (SB) 499, changing the way elections where only one major political party (Democratic or Republican) fields candidates for a partisan office.

Prior to SB499, if just one party had candidates, no minor party or Non-Partisan candidates, if only two candidates filed, there would not be a primary for that race. The two candidates would go directly to the general election so all voters could have a voice. If there were three or more, there would be a primary and the top two finishers would advance to the general election, again, so all voters would have a voice.

Under SB499, the candidates, regardless how many, appear on the primary ballot and the winner of the primary advances to the general election UNOPPOSED. In plain terms, the winner of the primary wins the position.

Since primary elections for partisan offices are closed, only voters registered in that party are allowed to vote. In a typical primary, the average turnout is about 23 percent. This means that if the voter share of total voters in the particular district is 35 percent, we can assume that 23 percent of the 35 percent; just eight percent of the voters of that party are voting. If there are more than two candidates, the winner may get under five percent support of party members and far less of the total active registered voters in the district.

This election, there are 18 races where only one party has candidates, three for the legislature and 15 for county commission.

Another area where vote choice is limited is if candidates are unopposed. This cycle there are 17 races.

February Voter Registration Shows Two Very Interesting Numbers

By Doug Goodman -Founder & Executive Director Nevadans for Election Reform – March 3, 2024

The voter registration numbers for February 2024 held two very interesting numbers. In CD2 the voter share of those not registered to either the Republican or Democratic Party, 37.48%, is only 0.37% behind the Republican share of 37.85% and in the assembly, Non-Partisan voter share became the largest bloc in 17 districts (over 40%), an increase of six from January.

With an increase of just over 4,000 active registered voters over January, it appears likely that many of those who changed party affiliation to vote in the presidential preference primary changed back to Non-Partisan
