How To Check If Your Nevada Voter Registration Is Inactive
You registered to vote years ago. Maybe you didn’t miss an election for a while and you’re really civically involved! But you moved. If that’s the case, the state of Nevada may have just made your voter registration inactive. Here’s how to check if your Nevada voter registration is, indeed, inactive.
An Inactive Nevada Voter Registration Comes Down To Mail
Blue’s Clues built into us the love of checking the mail. But if you’ve ever moved you know that it can be kind of a pain to get everything moved. Sure, you can go to the United States Postal Service website and request forwarding, but it seems like it doesn’t catch everything.
Nevada sends voter registration cards to all registered voters. Kind of a microphone check to see if people can hear them. If the card doesn’t bounce back, it’s considered active. However, if the non-forwardable mail is returned to the Election Department at Clark County, they mark that Nevada voter registration as “inactive”. Then they are sent an address change card that is forwardable and potentially will reach its target.
Potentially that voter no longer lives in the state. That wouldn’t be good. The county does this every year to ensure Lefty Rosenthal can’t continue to vote.
What Does An Inactive Nevada Voter Registration Mean, And Am I Inactive?
If you have an inactive Nevada voter registration, that doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t vote. As long as you actually live in the county, you’ll be able to cast your ballot. What you won’t receive, however, is any election related mail like mail-in ballots and the like.
Interested in seeing if your Nevada voter registration has been marked as inactive? Check out Clark County’s website, or call 702-455-VOTE. Election day in the Presidential General Election (and down-ticket races that are as, if not more, important) is Tuesday, November 5th.
