June 2017 request for voter rolls

Jan. 1, 1900

On June 29, 2017, the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, which had been created by President Donald Trump on May 11, requested information on registered voters from all 50 states dating back to 2006. The states were given until July 14 to respond. On June 30, Secretary Cegavske announced that the state would refuse to provide the requested information to the commission. “ Many people have asked whether or not the Secretary of State’s office plans to comply with the request from the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity for voter registration information in Nevada. Other than the previously identified confidential information, state law (NRS 293.558) prohibits election officials from withholding voter registration information from the public. In addition, the state’s Public Records Act requires government entities to allow for inspection of public records. As a result, the Secretary of State’s office will provide the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity with only the publicly available voter registration information under Nevada law. ” —Secretary Barbara Cegavske
