Nevada Adds 12,305 Registered Voters in January; Statewide Rolls Top 2.12 Million
Nevada added 12,305 active registered voters in January, driven largely by an 11,203 jump in nonpartisan registrations, pushing the statewide total to 2,128,758.
1. 12,305 net new active registered voters added in January 2026
Nevada’s voter rolls increased by 12,305 active registered voters in January compared with December, a month‑over‑month rise of 0.58%, according to a February 6 press release from Nevada Secretary of State Francisco V. Aguilar. The release states plainly: “Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar reports an increase of 12,305 active registered voters during the month of January 2026 as compared to December 2025.” The largest component of that gain was nonpartisan registrations, up 11,203 (a 1.42% increase), while Democratic registrations rose by 711 (0.12%) and Republican registrations rose by 192 (0.03%). Smaller shifts included a 145‑person increase for the Independent American Party, a net decline of 2 for the Libertarian Party of Nevada, and a +56 increase among other minor parties, figures that the Secretary of State’s office supplied and that replicated reporting from multiple outlets. Public reaction to the announcement was immediate and polarized on social platforms: a KSNV News 3 Facebook repost of the release captured 242 reactions, 248 comments and 11 shares, with user comments ranging from skepticism about “dead voters” to claims about California migration; those comments are user opinions and underscore the need for transparent follow‑up from election officials.
2. Statewide rolls now total 2,128,758 active registered voters, full party composition and next steps for verification
The state’s active registered voter total stands at 2,128,758 as of January 2026, with a party/affiliation breakdown reported by the Secretary of State that sums exactly to that number: Nonpartisan 799,056 (37.54%); Republican 596,356 (28.01%); Democratic 593,740 (27.89%); Independent American Party 90,436 (4.25%); Libertarian Party of Nevada 15,000 (0.70%); and other minor parties combined 34,170 (1.61%). Coverage republishing the release also included the operational definition used by state officials: an “active registered voter” is someone legally eligible to vote, registered with their county election official and not marked inactive through routine list maintenance, a procedural detail that affects how the totals are compiled and maintained. For anyone seeking the detailed, downloadable breakdown (including county‑level reports not printed in the release) the Secretary of State’s Elections page carries the full registration datasets and the office provided a press contact for follow up: Elections Division at (775) 684‑5720 and the Elections Division email listed in the release. The release also reiterated how to register or update registration online or by mail via the state’s registration portals and forms, and noted the post was issued as “FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE” from Carson City on February 6, 2026; MyNews4, KLAS/Yahoo and the Pahrump Valley Times replicated the numbers and timestamps, confirming cross‑source consistency. Reporters and civic groups should note two gaps in the material as published: the press release does not include county‑by‑county or demographic breakdowns in the body of the summary, and it contains no fresh, attributable quote from Secretary Aguilar beyond the reporting line; the Elections Division contact listed in the release is the channel to request both the county dataset and an on‑the‑record statement.
