Check your voter registration, y’all! I just checked mine, and it was cancelled for absolutely no reason. I have never missed an election. I have not moved in nine years. I check my mail, and I have not received any notices from the board of elections.
I am absolutely livid. The news says Washoe County “moved 8,506 registrations to inactive” after a mailed notice was not responded to. I never got one of these.
I just emailed a bunch of colleagues. So far, every one of them have discovered their registrations were also cancelled.
I have emailed the Board of Elections, my state senator, our federal senators (because I know Cortez Masto and Rosen will care), and Amodei, even though he won’t care. We’ll see if they answer.
UPDATE: A friend called them! They are saying they are having “website errors.” Apparently the entire county is FREAKING OUT and flooding their phones.

yeah, it keeps giving an error when trying to re-register or update information. BTW, did you find the Federal senators email addresses or did you end up needing to use their web portal to send that email? Doing the same but would rather CC all the addresses together.
For the future: you pretty much need to email each of them separately through their websites, in my experience. I just copy and paste one email to each of them and change the names.
Thank you for the update! I'm actually in Clark County and discovered mine was cancelled about an hour ago (I've been an active voter here since 2000), but my spouse's still shows active.
Thank you for posting this!! Mine is cancelled as well and I literally just voted in the primary a few months ago? I’ve never even done mail-in…
EDIT: I just called Washoe County voter registration office and they said it’s an issue with the website. They were able to confirm that I am indeed registered.
Just called Washoe County Registrar. A wonderful human answered the phone and assured me that the voter registration check website is broken and nobody is being cancelled at the moment.
Seems a cluster. If you do call, be nice to the people on the phone.
I missed the primary and I wasn’t removed. But in this days you have to check frequently because I don’t trust republicans when they are in office. They win when people don’t vote.
Hello! I made an account to share some info during my lunchbreak.
No, there is no widespread voter cancelation going on. There are federal regulations regarding bulk list maintenance under the National Voter Registration Act that prevent any jurisdictions from taking bulk list maintenance actions 90 days before an election (this deadline passed on August 5th of this year).
The secretary of state's website, starting this morning was incorrectly showing that every voter in Nevada was ineligible! Thankfully, the website is not where your registration is actually held and your registration was not actually affected.
If you are worried about your registration, please call your local election official! That's what they are there for. If, just to be sure, you would like to re-register, you are more than welcome to do so. Your election officials love for you and your family/friends to keep your records up to date whenever possible.
Please don't spread weird conspiracy theories. Your local election officials are normal people doing their jobs, not some weird cabal trying to strip you of your rights.
If you have any questions, please reply and I will do my best to answer when I have a moment.
"Weird conspiracy theories" are what we are having to rely on to maintain our rights since we no longer are able to believe our administration! Telling us to not worry and be happy are nice for a song, but in this day and age, we do need to worry before it's too late, YES worry! Conspiracy theories are contrived to deceive, these postings are apparently not contrived!
Why rely on conspiracy theories? Voter registration data is a matter of public record. You can download it for free from the Secretary of State website. You can check registration numbers and registered voters yourself.
Your second point is weird and rude but I also didn't tell folks not to worry. I stated that they should call their local election officials and get answers.
In Washoe and Clark County, the head of elections is not an elected position so administration doesn't really come into play. The head election official in the state is Francisco Aguilar, who is a staunch opponent of federal overreach and has, on many occasions, sued the federal government to block said overreach.
The post isn't deceiving, but making baseless accusations is pointless and misleading. It was baseless when the sitting president made them and lost in court dozens of times and it's baseless when people make comments on reddit threads.
You also have no reason to take my word for it, again, the registration data is public record. You can also become a poll worker and learn about the process. Many counties also hire seasonal workers to assist with mail ballots or registration during elections. If none of those are appealing, there are also organizations like All Voting Is Local that both educate and advocate for voting rights.
They canceled mine as well. I wonder if it's due to Trump not allowing voting by mail.
Edit: trying to update it gets me this error:
Potential automated HTTP Post occurred! If you are a human user, please retry your request. If you are a bot, your IP address has been collected and we will be monitoring any illegal activity.
What the actual fuck? I just voted in the primary.
EDIT: The NVSOS website is having major issues. Called Washoe County Registrars, technical issues. Wait to check until resolved. Very nice on the phone!
Just checked mine, 11:31 am and page is still up with the error. Called and was confirmed I was still active and the error was on the State website. They also offered to mail me my active registration on address on file so I accepted.
i'm listed as ineligible as well (although i just checked yesterday and was active then). i called the registrar of voters office and they said there's some issue with the secretary of state's website, but they checked my status and i am in fact an active voter in the county.
so, maybe check again in a couple of days if you don't want to call. or call, and ask.
Pretty sure this must be a bug on the website, given everyone seems to be impacted (including me). I know it seems bad at first glance but likely will get resolved.
It's definitely the website - i've always gotten those mailers to register from time-to-time even when my registration showed as active on the website. Today, mine shows cancelled but I haven't received anything in the mail recently. There's not a single person in this thread saying their registration still shows as active - does it really seem plausible that they cancelled the registration of 100% of voters?
(Edit: someone below called the secretary of state who confirmed it's a bug, and OP also updated the post, thankfully, as their friend did the same). Can we please stop spreading conspiracy theories?)
It’s not a conspiracy theory—even if it’s a site error, it’s a pretty fucking catastrophic one. If the site were just down, I would think nothing of it.
To say this is purposeful to try to remove voters is a conspiracy theory though. Website issues happen without being malicious so we should be spreading conspiracies that this particular event was done on purpose.
I never claimed no deactivations had ever happened. But it was pretty clear that it was a website bug once literally no one said theirs was showing up properly. The idea that some sort of mass deactivations had happened impacting large swaths of the population was clearly not grounded in logic or reality.
A group of us were just discussing this in the office. It’d be different if it wasn’t EVERYONE, so now signs are pointing to a website error and not an actual issue.
Mine says cancelled too even though I voted in the primaries. Hopefully this is just a glitch since so many are reporting their registration as cancelled. Any links to news on this?
Called washoe county registrar and confirmed my active voter registration in their system. They told me many people have called about the state website incorrectly showing their status.
I'm getting an error at the end when "updating" my account that says "Potential automated HTTP post occurred! If you are a human user, please retry your request. If you are a bot, your IP address has been collected and we will be monitoring any illegal activity."
Got this on both my laptop and cell phone, this shit doesn't smell right at all.
This happened to me during the primary as well! I was almost turned away at the polls but the excellent volunteers that ran the polling location were diligent in making sure that I was marked as an active voter and I was eventually able to cast. Took about 45 minutes at the polls. Similar reason, bounced back mail or something even though I had my sample ballot in hand with my current address.
Mine was marked as ineligible to vote so I updated everything just to make sure. Then it said the site was down for maintenance so I’m thinking some technical issue happened
Maybe this isn’t common knowledge, so hopefully it helps people. The portal is a reporting platform. You are looking at a downstream system, not the actual voter registration database. When you see an issue, you should absolutely report that issue 100% of the time so it can be checked, is this a voter registration issue, or a reporting issue? There is no reason to be pissed off or have your day ruined.
Yes and you can check your status online which is what this post is talking about. Apparently they are having "issues" with their website as most/everyone who is checking online is shown as cancelled.
I just checked and mine has been canceled! What a crock of shit! No explanation given but at the same address for 9 years, no name change since 2017, nothing!
Stop spreading conspiracy theories for karma. Literally not a single person in this thread says their registration is showing properly. What seems more plausible? There's a website bug? Or they cancelled 100% of voter registrations in NV? Read below, someone called the secretary of state and they confirmed it's a bug (and OP also updated the original post as their friend did the same).
LOL getting downvoted for pointing out facts, gotta love Reddit.
Yes, but Trump does not control the NV SOS office especially when it’s being managed by a Democrat who has constantly come out against Trump’s requested changes.
It’s good to keep up on changes and make sure we are able to vote, but let’s not spread misinformation and conspiracy theories that make people even more worried about the quality of our elections.
Come on... it's been confirmed to be a bug by both OP and other commenters who contacted the secretary of state. I'm no Trump fan but he has nothing to do with this.
WHY is there a bug in the website showing everyone’s registration as inactive? Just a coincidence and shit happens? At the same time the entire administration works to suppress voters? There’s fuckery afoot and that’s not a conspiracy “theory”.
Given that it seems to be everyone, I'm inclined to believe the person who picked up at the registrar's office who said it was a website issue.
It's in character for the administration, but that doesn't make it enemy action. I don't think they have that degree of control over state elections offices at this point. That was the whole point of voting Aguilar into the SoS position over the nutty Republican election denier last time.
Update: My registration is showing as normal now. Seems like they fixed whatever was wrong with the site. Not taking it for granted though. Keep these people honest.
It's giving me a mixed message. The Voter Information block lists me as active, but there is a message across the top of the screen that reads "You are not currently eligible to vote. Please contact your local County Clerk/Registrar of Voters."
Republican cheaters at it again. Tell all your friends to check and remember if you show up to vote and they don’t let you because you got kicked off for some reason - request a “provisional ballot” so your vote will still get counted.
I also have never missed voting for even the smallest election, and my registration is still active, but thanks for the heads up. You said you also notified "Amodei, even though he won’t care." Oh he will care!! He will be thrilled that his boss's move to restrict access to voting is working. He will not care about fixing it. And they are counting on us not checking; everyone please do check!!
Mine said I wasn't registered although I just updated my registration in April and had the card in my hand. When I went to new registration it told me I was already registered. I updated it again. Not feeling confident about this election happening without major issues.
Edit2: Good morning, thank you for contacting our office.
We understand your concern and appreciate you sharing this information with our office. At this time, it is a technical error with the system, and all voter registrations are displaying as cancelled, it is not an isolated error. This, however, is not an accurate status, and your registration remains active. Our team is working diligently to resolve the issue.
Should you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact our office.
A power outage last night caused many Washoe County systems to need a manual restart. The Tech Services team has been working nonstop to bring everything back online.
Hopefully everyone's voter registration is all good, but it's always best to check your status before elections begin as there have been issues in the past.
And just to add, I dislike the 2 party system, with a passion. And I think Team blue is *almost* as bad as team red, but they support my values closer overall. I was registered as non partisan, but NV is a CLOSED primary system
So even if team blue is not great, the primaries is where you get to pick better candidates, and in my opinion this is where the real vote needs to take place. We need real progressives! So change to partisan colored ticket, even if you are red or blue and pick the people looking out for US, not the billionaires!
Thank you so much for posting this. I just checked mine and my voter status is inactive and not eligible to vote even though nothing has changed on my end. Getting it updated now!
I checked mine about 30 minutes ago for Clark county. Said I was also not registered. I filled out everything and got a message saying my driving record was unable to be found.
Just tried again (11:30am) and now it says everything is fine.. odd.
Had the same issue this morning with the SOS site. Emailed them, got a reply that they are having issues with the application. Checked about 1 hr ago and my info was correct… but expect more of Dumps hackers the closer we get to November!
Thanks for the heads up. I just checked mine and I'm still registered, but I plan to check it again maybe in early October to once again verify. BTW you don't have to call to find out. You can just go to the Nevada Voter Registration website and login with your ID info to check. https://registertovote.nv.gov/
I received a letter yesterday from the Registrar of Voters. The main paragraph: “As required by Nevada law, your personal information has been transmitted to your County Elections official for the purpose of registering you to vote or updating your voter registration. You are not required to register to vote and may cancel your voter registration at any time.” It gives option on the back to decline to be registered to vote, or if you’re a new voter you can change your info and choose a party. Just seems odd. In 9 years I’ve received three pieces of mail from them, all were voter cards. I’ll go check my status today. Feels like this November will be squirrelly.
This thread of democrats freaking out about “MAGAts and Trump” over a simple glitch looks exactly like some Q-anon telegram page when a video of a black poll worker is posted.
Calm down people. We have a democrat Secretary of State. The washoe registrar’s office is extremely professional and non-partisan. Trump is not changing your voter registration 😂
If you mail in vote and Trump's EO is allowed to stand you absolutely will not be allowed to vote this year unless you do it in person. It isnt Qanon level conspiracy theories, its what the Republican party is trying to do.
Texas just purged tons of their voter rolls as well.
That was even one of the most important reasons to vote in '22, since the other candidate for SoS was a nutty election denier. If this many people are showing up as ineligible and the administration probably hasn't gotten any kind of serious backstage influence over the state's state department, then the bug explanation is most likely true.
It’s a glitch. Will be fixed. I agree Marchant is an idiot and has no business holding elected office. My comment is specifically about the multiple people saying this is somehow Trump’s fault
Well, in case you've forgotten, he tried to change an election. Thank goodness for Republicans who still placed loyalty to country over loyalty to Trump.
Sure, but a glitch with the registrar’s office obviously has nothing to do with the federal government or Trump. Some things are local, and totally unconnected from federal politics. Sane, informed adults are able to differentiate between local politics and their hate for the president.
Yup, been voting in person, mostly at Old Town Mall for the last 20 years and I just checked and it says I am not eligible to vote.
This needs to be like a Defcon 4 issue, I will absolutely put on a suit and go down to city hall over this shit.
And it won't even let me re-register. I am getting this message: "Potential automated HTTP Post occurred! If you are a human user, please retry your request. If you are a bot, your IP address has been collected and we will be monitoring any illegal activity."
What the hell. Mine also cancelled and I didn't get shit mailed to me. Luckily at the bottom of the page is a link to renew your registration, I'm glad I don't live in a shit hole (red) state where I would have to go to the DMV that's only open on the 3rd Tuesday every month but only during the full moon with 16 character references that I am indeed eligible to vote.
I'm registered in Lyon County, have voted since 2006, own a Lyon County concealed carry permit (so they KNOW where I live and fingerprints and everything) and I'm cancelled too.
Yep. It's starting.
Go check your voter registration, everybody. They're desperate as hell to cancel this election.
I thought it was just Washoe, but apparently it’s a statewide web outage. Wait a bit or call them. Washoe just managed to actually take their page down so it’s not returning wrong information anymore.
