Francisco Aguilar says more than 119-thousand Nevada voters have been designated as inactive ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
According to the Nevada Secretary of State, county election officials updated more than 14-thousand voter records this spring, marked 119-thousand-533 voters as inactive, and canceled more than 75-hundred voter registrations.
The state says that follows broader 2025 voter roll maintenance efforts that designated more than 138-thousand voters as inactive and removed nearly 177-thousand registrations.
Aguilar says maintaining accurate voter rolls is essential as counties prepare for the June primary election. Mail ballots are now being sent to active registered voters statewide, and officials are encouraging residents to review or update their voter registration information through the state’s election website.
The Reno City Council voted 6 to 1 Thursday night to approve a pending moratorium on new data center applications, following hours of public comment and debate. Councilwoman Kathleen Taylor cast the lone dissenting vote, arguing the city could complete its regulatory work without halting projects.
City planners say the temporary moratorium pauses new conditional use permit applications for data centers for 30 days, while the council prepares to consider a final moratorium on June 1. Officials are also looking at a faster process to establish regulations governing future developments.
Supporters, including the Sierra Club, say stronger rules are needed to address concerns over water use, environmental impacts, and effects on tribal communities. Opponents, including the Northern Nevada Building Trades Council, warn a moratorium could discourage investment and job growth.
Officials say the measure does not affect Reno’s five existing data centers or projects that have already been approved.
