Everything you need to know about voting in Nevada

Election day has arrived across the country, including in the battleground state of Nevada.

The polling stations opened on Tuesday, November 5 at 7 a.m. and will remain open until 7 p.m. If you are in line to vote before 7:00 PM, you can stay in line until you have cast your vote.

For Election Day turnout, more than 56,000 voters cast ballots as of 10 a.m., including more than 38,000 in Clark County, according to figures from the Nevada Secretary of State’s office.

WHERE CAN I VOTE?

Clark County will have 135 voting centers open for the election. There are no pre-assigned constituencies; anyone registered to vote in Clark County can vote at any voting center.

For the first time, Allegiant Stadium will serve as a voting center. Everyone who casts their vote will receive an exclusive ‘I VOTED’ sticker with an outline of the stadium.

Visit the Clark County website to find a voting center near you and to see wait times.

CAN I STILL SEND MY POSTAL VOTE VIA THE POST SERVICE?

If you wish to vote by mail, your ballot must be postmarked by Tuesday to be counted.

In Clark County, you can drop off your ballot by 8:59 p.m James C. Brown Jr. U.S. Post Office, 1001 E. Sunset Roadto ensure it is postmarked before Election Day.

Can I drop off a mail ballot instead?

All voting centers will also serve as postal polling stations. You only need to bring your signed and sealed ballot.

You can also drop off your ballot at the Clark County Election Department office or at the Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas city halls.

How do I know if my mail ballot has been counted?

You can track the status of a ballot via the Clark County Voter Services page.

If the status of your ballot is “disputed,” you may recover your ballot by calling the Clark County Elections Department at (702) 455-8683.

You have until Tuesday, November 12 to correct your ballot.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM REGISTERED TO VOTE?

You can check your status on the Clark County Voter Services page or at the Nevada Secretary of State websiteand register online if you haven’t already done so.

If you are not registered to vote, Nevada offers same-day in-person registration at each voting center. Bring ID and/or proof of residency to a voting center and you will receive it a preliminary vote.

Once election staff has verified your residence and determined that you have not voted more than once, your provisional ballot will be counted.

HOW LONG UNTIL THE RESULTS ARE KNOWN?

Results will not be released until all polling places in Nevada are closed. Because anyone who lines up to vote before 7 p.m. can stay in line until they vote, there is no set time for the first update.

Early results include early voting and ballots received through Monday. The next update will include in-person results from Election Day.

Clark County expects to release more results Wednesday afternoon and again in the evening. The results will then be posted every day around 8 p.m. until Saturday, November 9.
