Voter Registration Challenges

• 
  NRS 293.535 Form
• 
  NRS 293.547 Form

In addition to the list maintenance completed regularly by trained election officials, there is also what is called a “voter challenge.” For example, if one Nevadan has personal knowledge that another has permanently moved away in a way that makes them ineligible, under some circumstances Nevada law permits a residency challenge against that voter.

 

Residency challenges under NRS 293.535

Challenges must show that a voter has:

• Moved away from the county where they are registered to vote and established residence in a new county, state, territory or country, which must be named
• The intention of remaining there for an indefinite time
• The intention of abandoning their residence in the county where they are registered to vote

 

Residency challenges under NRS 293.547

Challenges must meet at least these requirements:

• Brought by a registered voter in the same precinct as the person whose right to vote is challenged
• Based on personal knowledge
• Filed no sooner than 30 days but no later than 25 days before an election
