What is Early Voting

Since 2000, more people in Clark County have voted before Election Day than on Election Day because of Clark County’s Early Voting program and mail ballot voting. The many nearby neighborhood early voting sites allow eligible voters to cast their ballot at a convenient time and place before Election Day. Sites include shopping malls, supermarkets, libraries, and community centers.

Who May Vote Early

Voters registered in Clark County may vote before Election Day at any early voting site no matter where it is located in Clark County. Early voting sites are either long-term or short-term (neighborhood).

Same-day registration is also available during the entire 14 days of Early Voting and on Election Day. It allows you to register and vote on the same day at any early voting site or at any Election Day Vote Center. You will be required to show a current and valid Nevada Driver's License or State Identification Card that displays your current residential address where you actually live.

When Early Voting Occurs

Early voting starts the Saturday, 17 days before Election Day, and continues everyday for 14 days, ending the Friday before Election Day.

Site Schedules
Hours and days vary by site. A complete schedule with specific sites, dates, and hours will be available as follows:

• The Clark County Election Department
  You may find the schedule on our website, call (702) 455-VOTE (8683), or send an e-mail.
• Early Voting Schedule Brochures
  Available anywhere you find Voter Registration Applications, e.g., Department of Motor Vehicles, post offices, libraries, etc. (State/Federal Elections only).
• Sample Ballot
  Your sample ballot contains an early voting schedule. Sample ballots are sent before early voting begins.
• Newspapers
  The Registrar of Voters publishes the schedule during the week before the period for early voting begins and at least once each week during the period for early voting.

Types of Early Voting Sites

Long-Term Sites Long-term sites are those where early voting is conducted at the same location for longer durations or all 14 days of early voting. They are usually in high-traffic areas, such as major shopping malls, Election Department offices, or City Clerks’ offices in municipal elections in odd-numbered years. These sites have 10 to 30 voting machines.

Short-Term (Neighborhood) Sites Short-term neighborhood sites are those where early voting is conducted at a location for shorter durations of one to a few days and then moves on. These sites are at smaller facilities (local supermarkets, libraries, community centers, etc.) and ensure voters in the County have access to a site located in their neighborhood. These sites have 6 to 15 voting machines.

Why a Specific Site is Selected

The Registrar of Voters identifies and selects locations which provide Clark County voters many opportunities to vote during the 14 days of early voting. The concerns of various communities of interest, such as senior citizens’ groups, minority interest groups, political parties, and other community organizations, are part of the decision making process.

How to Early Vote and Where

Upon arriving at the site, your eligibility and signature will be verified before you are allowed to vote. Computers at each site are connected to the Election Department’s centralized voter registration files and your voting record will be updated when you vote, thus preventing the possibility of anyone voting twice. All early voting sites use touch screen voting machines. These machines provide ballots and instructions in both English, Spanish, and Filipino (Tagalog).

If you did not opt-out of mail ballot voting and vote in person instead of by mail:

• If you have your mail ballot with you, you must surrender it at the voting site; or
• If you do not have your mail ballot with you, you must sign an affirmation that you are not voting twice in the same election.

Same-day registration will also be available for eligible persons who are not currently registered to vote. They must have an unexpired Nevada Driver’s License, an unexpired Nevada Identification Card, or an unexpired NV DMV Interim Document to register to vote, and may only vote a provisional ballot. Same-day updates of existing registration will also be available.

A listing of early voting sites for the current election will be on the Election Department's website, in your sample ballot, in newspapers, and in brochures distributed to community groups. An Early Voting Site Locator Tool will also be available on the Election Department's website.

Early Voting Turnout and Results

Daily early voting turnout (total voters per site) will be available every night after 11:00 p.m. on the Election Department's website. In State/Federal Elections, tabulated results will be available after the Secretary of State has indicated all statewide voting has ended, sometime after 7:00 p.m. on Election Day. Complete tabulated election results will be on the Election Department's website or on TV cable Channel 4. Note that provisional ballots will not be counted until after Election Day and therefore will not be included in the election night tabulated unofficial results.
