Carson City, NV (AP) - Nevada elections officials reported a slight increase in registered voters in July, most of whom decided to forgo registering with a political party and instead register as nonpartisan.

Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske reported 16,851 more active voters in July, an increase of just under 1%. Among the new voters, 11,056 registered nonpartisan, 880 registered as Republican and 691 registered as Democrats.

Democrats still hold the largest slice of active registered voters in Nevada, comprising 35% of roughly 1.9 million voters.

Republicans make up 31% and nonpartisans 26%.
