The Mercury NewsCARSON CITY, Nev.—Final voter figures released Friday by state election officials show more than 1.4 million Nevadans are registered to cast ballots Nov. 4—and there are 111,617 more Democrats than Republicans.
The final registration numbers show that the 624,995 Democrats account for 43 percent of all Nevada voters, while the 513,378 Republicans account for 36 percent. Another 229,039, or 16 percent, are nonpartisans and the rest are minor-party members.
The record-high total is 26 percent higher than registration for the 2004 presidential elections. That year, there were 4,431 more Republicans than Democrats registered in Nevada.
Secretary of State Ross Miller, who last week released preliminary figures that were close to the final count, said the big increase from 2004 shows that Nevadans "are taking their role as a potential swing state very seriously."
