Who May Vote in the Municipal General Election and Maps

Only voters properly registered within the specific boundaries of an incorporated City (Boulder City, Henderson, Las Vegas, Mesquite or North Las Vegas) may vote in the 2011 Municipal Elections and only in their own City’s elections at a site within their own City. Voters registered in unincorporated areas of Clark County do NOT participate in Municipal Elections. Log-in to our website to look up your voting eligibility, precinct, elected officials, etc.  As it becomes available, you may also view your sample ballot, Election Day polling place or Henderson "Vote Center."  Each city has maps of its boundaries:

Boulder City map   Henderson maps    Las Vegas map    Mesquite maps    North Las Vegas map
  
NOTE:  Many Clark County residents with a mailing address of Las Vegas mistakenly assume they live in the City of Las Vegas. This has caused confusion in past municipal elections. You can confirm your eligibility to vote in the June 7 Las Vegas Municipal General Election by logging in and verifying Las Vegas is listed as your city under Assigned Districts. An interactive map of the City of Las Vegas is also available on the Internet. Other City maps are available online as well (see paragraph above).
