Voter Registration Procedure, Security, and List Maintenance – An FAQ
This policy brief, titled Voter Registration Procedure, Security, and List Maintenance – An FAQ, aims to educate Nevada voters on timely election information and offers a comprehensive overview of Nevada’s voter registration process.
The brief addresses voter eligibility requirements, including citizenship, residency, age, and other considerations, and outlines several methods for registering to vote, including online, by mail, in-person, and through automatic voter registration (AVR) at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). It also explains voter identification requirements and circumstances in which voters may be asked to provide ID, particularly when there is a mismatch in information or if registration data is incomplete.
In this brief, we also cover how Nevada maintains accurate voter registration lists, including the state’s participation in the ElectronicRegistration Information Center (ERIC) to cross-check voter data with other states, DMV records, and Social Security information, and explain Nevada’s efforts to remove deceased voters from the rolls and update addresses using the National Change of Address (NCOA) system.
This policy brief is part of a series of election information briefs produced by the Guinn Center in the fall of 2024. These briefs are funded, in part, by the Democracy Defense Project.
