Nevada Get-Out-The-Vote Maps

FairVote2020 has developed an interactive map showing precinct-level turnout rates based on registered voters in Clark and Washoe Counties for the 2000 presidential contest. Nearly 90% of Nevada's population resides in these two counties.

The second map shows Bush-Gore results by precinct statewide.

Additional maps include census data on poverty, housing and income. Change maps by clicking the drop-down menu under "Compare Maps" on the left.

Map 1 --Turnout in Clark and Washoe Counties (by 2000 precinct -- registered voters)

At a scale of about 8 miles, the number of registered voters (by precinct) who did not vote in the 2000 election is displayed in purple boxes. Precinct boundaries are those in effect in 2000.

This map differs from other FairVote2020 turnout maps which use voting age population as the base for calculating the turnout rate. Nevada's population has grown rapidly since 2000, making registered voters the better measure for turnout calculations.

Data is unavailable for the other 14 counties and Carson City.
