In recent years, Nevada has had a large number of individuals becoming naturalized citizens. With tight races across the country, candidates and parties are focusing on voter turnout for the midterm election. Nevada is one of a few states where new American voters could decide the outcome of an election.

Nevada has closed primary elections, which means people can only vote for candidates with the same political affiliation as their registration. Ballot Question 3 proposes to allow voters to cast their ballots for high-profile races regardless of party during the primary and add rank-choice voting for general elections.

Many Nevada Republicans still support former President Donald Trump’s false claims about voter fraud in the 2020 election, including candidates in roughly a third of the state legislative races.

Early voting in Nevada starts in late May for the primary election and the Washoe County Commission has three district seats that are open. Despite these races just getting underway, there's already been a lot of controversy that's come up. To learn more about what's transpired, KUNR's Michelle Billman spoke with Tabitha Mueller, a reporter for The Nevada Independent.
