LAS VEGAS (FOX5) —A Paradise man says his sister, who has been dead for five years, received a voter registration mailer, prompting him to call the FOX5 Rant line.
“I’m kind of concerned here what to do. I just received a voter registration thing for my sister Brenda who’s been dead for five years. Should I forward this on to the cemetery where she’s at, or is that the right thing to do?” Moore said in the Rant call.

Documents show Clark County Registrar envelope
After the call, FOX5 went to Moore’s house to view the documents. The mailer included a voter registration form. Documentation showed “Clark County Registrar of Voters” on one envelope. It was addressed to Moore’s deceased sister, Brenda.
“How come she’s getting voting mail or registration mail and she’s passed away some time ago? Doesn’t anybody check that?” Moore said.
Secretary of State responds
FOX5 sent the documents to the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office, which said it is getting calls about third-party communications from election groups trying to get out the vote. The fine print on Moore’s documents shows a third-party group. The Secretary of State’s Office said there is nothing malicious or illegal about the mailer.
“But sometimes it comes off as confusing to the voter. And we don’t want any confusion around our elections processes,” said Francisco Aguilar, Nevada Secretary of State.
Moore raised concerns about the potential for misuse.
“It boils down to somebody else could have got this signed and voted twice,” Moore said.
Verification process explained
Aguilar said any attempt to register using the form would be caught during verification.
“The voter would had to prove identity to be able to become an officially registered voter in Nevada. Once they fill out the form, they have to be verified. They have to show ID. They have to prove who they are in order to be fully enrolled in the voter registration system,” Aguilar said.
The Secretary of State’s Office said Nevada’s statewide voter registration list is publicly available but says groups may have outdated information.
“Voters should be cautious of websites, texts, emails and social media posts that appear to offer voter registration or election services but are not operated by election officials. These sites may collect personal information, and voters should not assume that submitting information through a third-party website completes their voter registration,” said the Secretary of State’s Office.

FOX5 also reached out to the company listed on Moore’s documents about sending information to a deceased woman, but so far hasn’t heard back.
