(09-03) 16:46 PDT CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) --

Nevada's voter registration total now stands at nearly 1 million, with Democrats increasing their margin over Republicans, reports from state and local election officials showed Friday.

The total of at least 967,676 voters -- a record -- includes 945,981 Nevadans eligible to vote in Tuesday's primary, the secretary of state's office said. Others, because they missed the deadline for the primary, can vote only in the Nov. 2 general election.

A breakdown of the registration figures, updated to show the latest changes in Nevada's biggest counties, Clark and Washoe, show the 967,676 registered-voter total includes 393,445 Democrats and 389,858 Republicans -- a 3,587-registrant edge for the Democrats.

Statewide, Democrats account for 40.7 percent of the registered voters while Republicans represent 40.3 percent of the total. The rest are nonpartisans and splinter-party members.

Other states dink around. Nevada said, THIS WILL HAPPEN BY NOVEMBER.
