Nevada Election Officials Deny Evidence of Non-Citizen Voter Registrations

Reno, NV, September 24, 2026 —

Nevada election officials have stated that they have found no evidence to support claims made by the Trump administration alleging that 185 non-citizens were registered to vote in the state.

According to officials within Nevada’s election system, their review of voter rolls indicates that the individuals in question are citizens. The election officials further noted that the information provided by the federal government to substantiate the allegations was insufficient.

The Trump administration’s claims centered on a list of individuals reportedly found to be registered to vote despite not being U.S. citizens. However, Nevada election authorities have asserted that their internal records do not corroborate these accusations. The specific details or source of the federal government’s information were not elaborated upon, but Nevada officials indicated it did not meet their criteria for identifying non-citizen registrants.

The process of maintaining accurate voter registration rolls is a critical aspect of election integrity. Officials in Nevada are responsible for verifying the eligibility of registered voters within their jurisdiction. The discrepancy highlighted by the Trump administration’s claims and the subsequent response from Nevada officials underscores the ongoing discussions and scrutiny surrounding voter registration data and election security protocols.

The contractor’s name or the specific timeline for when the federal government provided this information to Nevada was not provided. Similarly, details regarding any specific records checks or cross-referencing performed by the federal government before making these claims were not made public. Nevada officials maintain that their own checks concluded the individuals were citizens and therefore legally eligible to vote.
