Nevada saw an increase of 11,092 active registered voters in December 2025 compared to November, according to the Secretary of State. The total number of active registered voters in the state now stands at 2,116,453, marking a 0.53% rise.
Nonpartisan voters led the growth, adding 11,938 new registrations, an increase of 1.54%. Republican registrations fell slightly by 962 voters, a 0.16% decrease, while Democratic registrations grew by 64, representing just 0.01% growth.
Smaller parties also recorded modest gains. The Independent American Party added 39 voters, a 0.04% increase, and the Libertarian Party of Nevada added 7 voters, or 0.05%. Other minor political parties collectively grew by 6 voters, or 0.02%.
Of Nevada’s 2,116,453 active registered voters: 787,853 (37.23%) are nonpartisan, 596,164 (28.17%) are Republicans, and 593,029 (28.02%) are Democrats. The Independent American Party accounts for 90,291 voters (4.27%), the Libertarian Party has 15,002 (0.71%), and other minor parties total 34,114 (1.61%).
Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar highlighted that the increase reflects ongoing interest in voter participation statewide. The rise in nonpartisan registrations shows that many voters in Nevada prefer not to affiliate with major parties, a trend that could shape future elections.
Experts note that nonpartisan voters often play a decisive role in closely contested races. With over one-third of Nevada’s active voters now identifying as nonpartisan, campaigns may increasingly focus on appealing to independent voters rather than relying solely on party bases.
The slight drop in Republican registrations and minimal growth among Democrats indicate stability among major parties, with smaller shifts favoring nonpartisan and minor party growth. The Independent American Party and Libertarian Party, though small, continue to show steady but modest increases.
These changes come as Nevada continues to attract new residents and see demographic shifts across urban and rural areas. Voter registration trends can influence statewide elections and local initiatives, particularly as nonpartisan voters expand their share of the electorate.
Aguilar’s office also reported that the voter registration data is regularly updated and verified to ensure accuracy. Tracking these changes month by month helps policymakers, political analysts, and campaigns understand voter trends and prepare for upcoming elections.
As the state approaches future elections, the increase in active registered voters highlights the importance of outreach and engagement. Nonpartisan voters, who now make up the largest group in Nevada, could have a growing impact on election outcomes and policy debates.
The Secretary of State encourages residents to check their registration status regularly and participate in elections. With 2.1 million active voters statewide, Nevada continues to show steady growth in civic engagement and political participation.
