2024: This Past Year

Legislative Action

The Nevada Legislature meets biennially during odd-numbered years – there was no active legislative session in 2024.

Implementation Action

Nevada’s secretary of state and Department of Motor Vehicles teams implemented two critical reforms in 2024:

  • First, the secretary of state launched a new Voter Registration and Election Management Solution (VREMS) in September, bringing at least 16 Nevada counties under a centralized system and increasing the security, accuracy, transparency, and customer experience of the state’s elections systems. All counties are expected to be integrated into this system in 2025.
  • Second, Nevada implemented important automatic voter registration reforms to incorporate national best practices and streamline the process for state citizens.
