LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – In Clark County, more than 3,000 ballots must already have their signatures “restored” to count in the 2024 general election starting Oct. 25.

When the signature on a ballot does not match the registered voter’s signature, election officials need the voter to “cure” their ballot by verifying the signature so their ballot can be counted. Ballots that are not healed by 5:00 PM on Monday, November 14 will not count.
