The magnitude of this year's presidential election has produced a record number of voter registrations. Clark County Registrar of Voters Larry Lomax says his office has processed more than 260,000 voter registration forms this year. That is 160,000 more than the last presidential election.
Lomax says he attributes the surge to Nevada's status as a battleground state and an increased number of groups signing up voters. The main thrust of the voter drive effort ended Saturday, with the postmark deadline for mail-in registration. While those forms are being received, the county Election Department will continue to take walk-in registrations through October 12th.
