One Month After Election Non-Partisan Registration Continues to Grow

The Nevada Secretary of State’s office released voter registrationstatistics December 1st covering the period from close of registration prior to the election; October 14th to November 30th. While all categories; Democratic, Republican, Non-Partisan, and other gained active voters, the only voter registration category to increase its percentage of registered voters was Non-Partisan.
The trend was the same; state-wide, Clark and Washoe Counties, and the 18 – 34 year-old demographic. In six weeks, in spite of an historic low turnout that gave control of the state government to one party, voters are still expressing their dissatisfaction with the two major political parties.

The legislature can reverse this trend of growing dissatisfaction. The legislature can demonstrate a commitment to all voters. The Nevada Election Modernization and Reform Act (NEMRA) provides the means.
