The Secretary of State’s Office also shares monthly reports on the numbers of Nevada’s inactive voters.
“A county marks a voter as inactive when the county sends the voter a notice to confirm their address on record and the county does not receive a response from the voter,” a press release explains. “If a voter does not respond to notice from the county and does not vote for two federal general elections in a row, their registration may be canceled.”
Nevada’s inactive registered voters are 369,804, which is broken down into 168,813 nonpartisans (45.65 percent), 92,356 Democrats (24.97 percent), 78,799 Republicans (21.31 percent), 17,301 of the Independent American Party (4.68 percent), 3,991 belong to the Libertarian Party of Nevada (1.08 percent) and 8,544 members of other minor political parties (2.31 percent).
“An inactive registered voter is a voter who is registered and legally eligible to vote, but has been flagged through Nevada’s list maintenance processes, conducted by the counties,” reads the release. “Inactive registered voters do not receive mail-in ballots for any election, but they remain on the voter rolls for two federal general election cycles, per the National Voter Registration Act, and are still eligible to vote.”
