Urgent Update: Verify Your Voter Registration After DMV Transactions

UPDATE: Nevada residents must verify their voter registration following any interaction with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) due to automatic updates now in effect. This urgent notice comes as part of the state’s Automatic Voter Registration law, which ensures that eligible voters are registered or their records updated whenever they conduct transactions with the DMV.

This process, which applies to both in-person visits and online services, automatically transmits updated information—like name and address changes—to the Secretary of State. Unless individuals opt out, these updates occur by default, making it crucial for all Carson City residents to confirm their registration status.

Residents are strongly encouraged to check their voter registration information at vote.nv.gov. This verification is vital to ensure that details such as party affiliation and mailing address are correct, especially with upcoming elections scheduled. Accurate voter information guarantees timely delivery of election materials and ensures that all voters remain eligible to participate.

Scott Hoen, Carson City Clerk-Recorder, emphasizes the importance of maintaining accurate records, stating, “Keeping voter registration details up to date is essential for secure and efficient elections.”

Residents who have recently interacted with the DMV should take immediate action to verify their registration. This includes checking for potential changes that could impact their voting status or ballot delivery. For any questions or assistance, contact the Carson City Clerk-Recorder’s Elections Division at 775-287-2087 or via email at [email protected].

As Nevada continues to streamline its voter registration processes, staying informed is crucial. This new law represents a significant step toward ensuring that all eligible voters can easily participate in the democratic process. Don’t wait—check your registration status today to secure your voice in the upcoming elections.
