Changing and Updating Registration

Changing and Updating Registration

Last Revised July 15, 2024

Directly Notify the Election Department

When you change your address, name, or political party, PROPERLY inform the Election Department as soon as possible to ensure you will continue to receive important election materials, such as mail ballots and sample ballots, and also to avoid delays when you vote. Quickly see your registration information on record by logging in to Registered Voter Services and selecting View My Registration Information from the dropdown menu.
 

Address Changes and "Inactive" Status

Several options are available for updating your address: (1) If you have a Nevada Driver's License or Nevada State Identity Card, you may change your address online at the Nevada Secretary of State's website; (2) Log in to Registered Voter Services and select Change My Address from the dropdown menu to complete and print a form to mail; (3) During the check-in process at any early voting site or Election Vote Center of your choice, you may update your address; or (4) You may also call (702) 455-VOTE (8683) to request a form for updating your address.  By updating your address by one of these options, you may make your registration "active" again if it has become "inactive."

Your registration status may become "inactive" if:

  • Non-forwardable election mail, such as a mail ballot, sample ballot, or Voter Registration Card, has been sent to the address in your voter registration records and it has been returned as undeliverable or the post office indicates you have moved; and
  • You did not respond within 30 days to the separate forwardable postcard asking you to confirm your voter registration information.

Inactive voters may still vote as long as they meet all other legal voting requirements. However, the Election Department will stop sending inactive voters election-related mail, such as mail ballots, sample ballots, and voter registration cards. 

The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) requires the Election Department to CANCEL your registration if your registration remains "inactive" and you do not vote in two consecutive federal elections. You must then re-register to vote again.

Election Mail for a Person NOT at Your Address

To notify the Election Department that you are receiving election mail for a person not residing at your address, you must submit a written report. A Residency Discrepancy Report form is available on the Internet for you to print, complete, and mail. You may also call (702) 455-VOTE (8683) to request a form be mailed to you.
