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.
