Registration Deadline:  If you are not already registered to vote in Clark County, Nevada, or want to update or change your existing voter registration, submit your FPCA by this date. This is the last day to register to vote or to update your registration, without having to appear in-person at the Election Department offices.

Mail Ballot Request Deadline:  If you are already registered to vote in Clark County, Nevada, this is last day for the Election Department to RECEIVE WRITTEN mail ballot requests from voters who are already validly registered to vote.


Timeframe of When to Expect Your Mail/Absentee Ballot

In federal/state elections (even-numbered years), delivery of mail ballots begins 20 days before Election Day for in-state voters and 40-45 days before Election Day for out-of-state voters. If you request a mail/absentee ballot and do not receive it at least 10 days before Election Day, IMMEDIATELY contact the Clark County Election Department. Do not delay as short timeframes will make it difficult for you to receive, vote and return a mail/absentee ballot by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day.

Voted Mail/Absentee Ballot Due Date and Time (Election Day, June 12, 2012, 7:00 p.m.)
The Election Department must RECEIVE your voted mail/absentee ballot no later than 7:00 p.m. on June 12, 2012, Election Day, in order for your ballot to be counted. Submission options include postal mail, fax, email or personal delivery, details of which will be included in the mail/absentee ballot packet we send you.

  
Register to Vote and/or Request a Mail/Absentee Ballot

  
Use the FPCA

To register to vote and/or request a mail/absentee ballot, military personnel and their dependents (spouse or children over 18) temporarily living outside of the state of Nevada, and Clark County residents temporarily living overseas, should submit a “Registration and Absentee Ballot  Request - Federal Post Card Application” (FPCA) instead of the standard Registration Application and/or Mail Ballot Request Card. The FPCA is valid through the next two regularly scheduled general elections for federal offices (e.g., 2012 and 2014).
