In less than three months, the Democratic and Republican
Parties will hold their presidential nominating caucuses and in just short of
seven months, their primaries for federal, state, and county offices. Yet
according to the voter registration data released November 5, 2015 for the
month of October, 2015 by the Nevada Secretary of State’s
office more voters
continue to register as Non-Partisan than either Democrat or Republican.
As campaigns increase intensity,
focus will be on individual districts. In 42.86% of State Senate districts (9 of
21), the number of voters not registered as either Democratic or Republican is
higher than one of those parties. In State Assembly districts, that number is
38.09% (16 of 42). In Congressional
districts, 26% of voters are not registered in one of the major parties. In CD1, the number in this group tops the
number registered as Republican.
The numbers continue to highlight the
growing dissatisfaction of voters and the need for the reforms proposed in the
Nevada Election Modernization Act (NEMRA).
