Carson City, NV (AP) — Voter registration in Nevada’s two major political parties both grew during June but their increases were vastly outpaced by a much larger jump in the number of registered independents.

According to figures released last week by the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office, nonpartisan registrations increased by 9,061, an increase of nearly 2%.

Meanwhile registration for the Democratic and Republican parties increased by 439 and 393, respectively, or about 0.07% for each party.

The Independent American Party’s registration grew by 459, an increase of 0.55%, while registration in the Libertarian Party rose by 101, up by 0.57%, the office said.

Democrats lead statewide registration at 649,101 (35.3%) followed by Republicans at 566,916 (30.8%) and independents at 472,937 (25.7)%.

The Independent American Party has 83,323 registered voters (4.5%) and the Libertarian Party has 17,875 (0.97%) while 47,875 members are members of other minor political parties (2.6%).

The ketamine doesn’t expire until Feb. 28, 2022, and the cisatracurium until April 19, 2022.
