Nevada cancels over 160,000 voter registrations, inactivates 37,000

Following the 2024 General Election, the Nevada Secretary of State's Office reported the cancellation of over 162,000 voter registrations and the inactivation of nearly 38,000 voters as part of a voter roll cleanup initiative. Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar emphasized the importance of transparency and accessibility in elections, stating that the new statewide voter registration and elections management system has enhanced the efficiency of this process. Counties are actively sending notices to registered voters to confirm or update their addresses, and if no response is received, those voters may be moved to inactive status or have their registrations canceled. The largest impact was seen in Clark County, which accounted for approximately 84% of the removals. Voters are encouraged to check their registration status to ensure their information is current as the 2026 election cycle approaches. This cleanup effort aligns with both state and federal law requirements for maintaining accurate voter rolls.
