The latest figures add to a number of positive voter registration data points, as well as massive electoral wins for Republicans, in The Silver State.

From 2010 onward, Democrats maintained a consistent advantage in registrations, often by substantial margins. For example, in 2012, statewide totals showed Democrats at 635,419 and Republicans at 504,974, a gap of over 130,000, according to data from the Nevada Secretary Of State’s Office.

By 2020, Democrats had maintained a voter registration lead of over 100,000 over the Republican Party.
