Washoe County's Registrar of Voters is stepping down.

Jamie Rodriguez submitted her resignation from the post and will be replaced by Deputy Registrar Cari Ann Burgess on an interim basis pending appointment by the Board of County Commissioners during its next meeting.

That meeting will happen on January 16th according to a statement from the Office of the County Manager.

Rodriguez assumed the role of Registrar of Voters for Washoe County in 2022 and worked with county leadership to implement strategic changes to staffing, more than doubling the number of permanent employees in the office. 

"We thank her for her dedication and passion that she poured into the role, and we support her desire to move on, leaving the office with a strong foundation of expertise," said the Office of the County Manager in a statement.

Assistant County Manager Kate Thomas, who has served as Nevada Deputy Secretary of State, will support the registrar’s office during the transition.
