Nevada continues to be one of the fastest-growing states in the United States, with a 2025 population of about 3.32 million driven primarily by net migration, especially from California, rather than natural increase. Growth is concentrated in urban areas like Las Vegas and Reno, bringing political implications for redistricting, voter demographics, housing affordability, and infrastructure in this key swing state.

A post-2024 election poll by The Tarrance Group for the Democracy Defense Project reveals sharp partisan shifts in Nevada voter confidence. Conducted July 12-16, 2025, with 550 likely voters, it highlights evolving trust in elections and views on integrity measures, underscoring Nevada’s role as a key swing state.

Assembly Speaker Steve Yeager (D-Las Vegas) introduced Assembly Bill 597 to allow Nevada's 840,000 nonpartisan voters—36% of the electorate—to participate in major party primaries for state and presidential elections, potentially reshaping the state's primary process.
