Nonpartisan voter numbers in Nevada are surging after DMV registration process change
Since 2025, Nevada's DMV stopped party selection during automatic voter registration, causing nearly 94% of new registrants in Clark County to become nonpartisan, state data shows.

- The secretary of state's office is sending a postcard to all active registered voters ahead of the 2026 elections with instructions to check registrations, while officials warn the changes could inflate nonpartisan totals and slow the registration process.
