Nevada Voter Registration At Record High; 1.5 Million-Plus

RENO, Nev. (AP) — More than 1.5 million Nevadans are now registered to vote in the June primary elections, the most in state history.

Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske said Thursday it's the first time total registration in Nevada has topped the 1.5 million mark since the 2012 general election.

The total at the end of March was 1,504,801. That's 3,983 more than in 2012.
