CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Election officials say more Nevadans registered as Republicans last month than Democrats.
Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske reported that the GOP gained 6,580 active registered voters in July. The Democratic Party added 5,718 active registered voters.
Democrats still hold a statewide voter registration advantage over Republicans in Nevada, comprising 38% of all active registered voters. Republicans make up 33%.
Unaffiliated voters are 23%. Overall, there are more than 1.6 million active registered voters in Nevada. Inactive registered voters are voters who generally do not have a current address on file with election officials. They are still eligible to cast ballots.
