Summary

In Nevada, nonpartisan voters outnumber partisans yet face limited primary choices under the closed primary system, forcing them to temporarily switch party affiliations to vote — an inconvenient workaround that may alienate them. Experts call these voters the “deal breakers and deal makers,” essential to winning elections, yet the current system risks pushing them away and letting ideologically extreme candidates dominate. A partial open primary could empower nonpartisan voters to privately choose a party ballot, encouraging candidates to appeal to them in the general election — a crucial step toward more representative outcomes.
