Approximately 19 percent of active registered Nevada voters, or about one in every five, participated in the recent primary election, marking a significant decline from the previous two cycles. Experts attribute the low turnout to the lack of competitive statewide races, particularly on the Democratic side. Despite the low turnout, it is evident that voters from both parties favor mail ballots, with Democrats showing overwhelming support and a majority of Republicans also expressing approval.
Nevadans are warming up to mail ballots, with about two-thirds of voters using them to participate in the primary. There’s increased adoption even among Republicans, who previously expressed distrust with the method. @Eric_Neugeboren reports: https://t.co/ubDuO8YNHV
About one in every five registered voters in Nevada cast a ballot in the state's primary election this month. https://t.co/dEqVAVjDwL
Turnout in Nevada's primary was abysmal, but what's clear is how much voters in both parties love mail ballots. Dems overwhelmingly love the mail, but a majority of Repubs do, too. via @eric_neugeboren https://t.co/Iwx3cv4rCr
About 19 percent of active registered Nevada voters cast a ballot in the primary — a big dip from primaries in the last two cycles. Experts attribute it to few competitive statewide races — especially on the Democratic side. @eric_neugeboren reports: https://t.co/ubDuO8YNHV
Nevada voter turnout right now sits at 17.98% - it will tick up slightly as a few more mail ballots trickle in today and tomorrow. But it could end up being the lowest primary turnout since 2008, when just 17.97% of voters cast a ballot. https://t.co/A5GhMQ8PjM
