Nevada Early Voting Opens for June 9 Primary

A two-week in-person period uses print-to-ballot machines so voters can review choices before feeding ballots into sorting machines.

Overview

  • Early voting began Saturday and runs two weeks across the state, with roughly 130 early voting sites and about 160 drop boxes available for voters.
  • Clark County is operating dozens of sites from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. through June 5 and reports about 1.5 million registered voters in the county.
  • Counties now use machines that print marked ballots which voters must insert into sorting machines for counting, changing the step where votes are finalized at polling places.
  • Mail ballots must be postmarked by June 9 and received by June 13 and Clark County has contacted voters after at least 456 returned ballots were flagged for signature verification with 49 signatures cured so far.
  • Officials and civic groups are running voter tools and oversight measures, including the state’s Ballot Scout tracking site, same-day in-person registration rules that require Nevada ID and proof of residence, DOJ reminders on citizenship, and nonpartisan observers from the ACLU of Nevada.
