No. Nevada has closed primaries. A closed primary is a type of primary election in which a voter must affiliate formally with a political party in advance of the election date in order to participate in that party's primary. Independent voters are not allowed to participate in any state with a closed primary system without first registering as a partisan.
Code Section: Nev. Rev. Stat. § 293.287
Unfortunately for independents in Nevada, the situation is not as favorable. Nevada has a closed primary system, meaning that independents must register with a major party before the election to vote in a partisan primary. Otherwise, the independent ballot will include only nonpartisan elections. Nevada allows voters to register on election day. A unique feature of Nevada’s election system is that the default method of voting is by mail. This doesn't mean in-person voting is unavailable; however, voters must either spoil their mailed ballot or opt out of receiving mailed absentee ballots to vote in person.
Yes, it can be. In some states, independent voters face barriers like closed primaries that exclude them unless they change their party registration each election. Others offer open primaries, allowing all voters to participate regardless of party. Some states make registration seamless with same-day options, while others require voters to plan weeks or even months ahead.
