There’s resistance to same day voter registration from the Secretary of State’s Office, and from other state and county officials concerned about the cost of implementing it. Deputy Secretary of State Wayne Thorley says implementing this change before the next election would be extremely difficult, suggesting it would be a multi million dollar process. Backers of the bil point out that in the last election 11,000 Nevadan’s registered to vote, after the deadline, too late to participate on election day 2018. 17 states have same day registration including Utah and California. SB 123 would also add two days to the early voting period.
