Biennial Address Validation
and Inactivation Process

Election Department - Clark County, Nevada
Last updated on November 19, 2009

 

The Inactivated Voter file contains voter registration information of voters whose records were inactivated as a result of non-valid addresses identified during ongoing registration activities as well as the biennial mailing of Voter Registration Cards described below.  Persons who believe that they were inactivated in error should verify that they are inactive by checking the Voter Information Lookup search program on this website or call the Election Department at 702-455-VOTE (8683).

At the beginning of every federal election year, the Election Department mails every “active” registered voter a new voter registration card.  If the Postal Service notifies the Election Department that the voter has moved from the address at which he/she registered, the voter is sent a forwardable postcard asking the voter to update his/her address.  If the voter does not respond within 30 days, he/she is placed on "inactive" status.  The individual is still eligible to vote (if he/she still lives in Clark County), but the address on file is not correct and the Election Department will no longer send election related materials to that individual.

On November 19, 2009, in accordance with procedures delineated in the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 and section 293.530 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, 58,977 registered voters were designated as INACTIVE.
