The Washoe County Registrar of Voters Office says it will mail approximately 19,500 address confirmation cards over the holiday weekend to voters identified for the inactivation process through returned undeliverable mail or by the Electronic Registration Information Center, or ERIC, program.
These cards are part of bulk voter registration list maintenance efforts being conducted before the 2026 General Election to keep the voter rolls accurate and up to date in accordance with state and federal law.
“We encourage voters to be active participants in their voter registration by checking their status, updating any outdated information or canceling their registration when they move out of state,” Registrar of Voters Andrew McDonald said.
Voters who receive an address confirmation card will have 33 days from the date the card is mailed to return the card or update their voter registration information online at RegisterToVote.NV.gov before being moved to inactive status. Voters with inactive status remain registered and eligible to vote and can update their registration at any time, but they will not automatically receive a mail ballot.
All bulk list maintenance efforts will conclude by the start of the 90-day federal voter list maintenance blackout period under the National Voter Registration Act, or NVRA, for the 2026 General Election on Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2026. The blackout period does not include routine day-to-day voter registration processing.
Voters can easily check their registration status online at RegisterToVote.NV.gov. Voters may also contact the Washoe County Registrar of Voters Office at 775-328-3670 or visit washoecounty.gov/voters for more information.
