Voting Information
2020 General Election

Voter Registration Deadlines & Info
The ONLY ballot you will receive is a MAIL-IN BALLOT. However, you can either mail your ballot in or visit a voting site and drop your ballot off or vote in person. You can drop your ballot off at any voting location during early voting or on election day. We STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you DROP OFF your ballot at a voting site during early voting. If you mail your ballot we suggest you do so EARLY to ensure it arrives in plenty of time to be counted.

Election Overview:
The 2020 general election, which will be held on Tuesday, November 3, will be a "hybrid" election.  All active registered voters will be sent a ballot in the mail, but voters can choose to vote in person instead of casting a mail ballot if they want to. The decision of how to vote will be up to each individual voter.  No voter will be forced to vote using a method with which they are not comfortable.

Important Voting Dates:
​October 17 - 30, 2020:                                                      Early Voting
September 17 - October 30, 2020 and on Election Day:    Drop Off Mail In Ballots at Voting Sites
November 3, 2020 7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.                             Election Day Voting Hours
NOTE: You can register through election day. However, you will vote with a provisional ballot if you register on election day and requires valid identification.

​Voting By Mail:
Ballots will be mailed out in late September or early October.  The specific date will vary by county.  Ballots will be sent on or about October 7th.  If you have not received your ballot in the mail within a week of your county's ballot mailing date, you should contact your county election office to notify them of the problem.  County election office contact information can be found here.
Ballots will be mailed to the voter registration mailing address on file with your county election office and cannot be forwarded by the Post Office.  This means it is extremely important that your voter registration mailing address be current.  All voters, especially voters who have recently moved or have not voted in a while, are highly encouraged to check their voter registration status well in advance of Election Day.  To check your voter registration status, visit www.RegisterToVoteNV.gov and click on "View My Existing Voter Registration."  If you need to register to vote or make a change to your voter registration information, you can also do so online at www.RegisterToVoteNV.gov.  MAKE SURE YOU USE BLACK OR BLUE INK PEN TO COMPLETE YOUR BALLOT & NOTE THAT YOUR BALLOT IS DOUBLE SIDED, BE SURE TO COMPLETE BOTH SIDES. ADDITIONALLY, YOUR BALLOT IS 2 PAGES.

Ballots can be voted and returned immediately once they are received.  You do not have to wait until a certain date closer to Election Day to vote your mail ballot.  Voters have two options to return a mail ballot:
  1. Ballots can be returned by mail using the provided postage prepaid ballot return envelope.  In order to be counted, ballots returned by mail must be postmarked no later than November 3.  Ballots that are given to a mail carrier or deposited in a Post Office receptacle prior to the last posted pickup time will have their ballot postmarked that same day.
  2. Ballots can be returned in person at a ballot drop-off location during early voting or on election day.  Ballots returned at a drop-off location must be dropped off prior to 7:00 pm on November 3.  See below for drop-off locations. All polling locations will have a drop off box for mail in ballots, so you won't have to wait in line to vote. You may also drop off up to 10 other completed, sealed, and signed ballots along with yours. We strongly encourage using this option, especially for family members, friends, neighbors confined to their home.
Regardless of how a mail ballot is returned, it must be returned in the provided ballot return envelope and signed.  Ballots returned in any other envelope will not be counted.  If needed, a replacement ballot return envelope can be obtained from your county election office.  Only one ballot should be returned per ballot return envelope.  If a ballot return envelope contains more than one ballot, none of the ballots will be counted.  Lastly, all ballot return envelopes must be signed by the voter.  This signature is used to confirm the voter's identity, so if your ballot return envelope is not signed your ballot will not be counted.

Voting In Person:
Even though all active registered voters will receive a ballot in the mail for the 2020 general election, voters can choose to vote in person at a polling place instead of voting by mail.  Voter who choose to vote in person will have two options:
  1. Early Voting - Early voting begins on Saturday, October 17 and runs through Friday, October 30.  Days and hours of operation vary by county.  A list of early voting polling places will be included on this webpage once election plans are finalized by the counties.  In order to avoid lines on Election Day, all voters who wish to vote in person are encouraged to vote early.
  2. Election Day - Polling locations open at 7:00 am on Election Day and remain open until 7:00 pm.  As long as you are in line by 7:00 pm, you will be allowed to vote.  A list of Election Day polling places will be included on this webpage once election plans are finalized by the counties.
While we will be using the touch-screen voting machines for the 2020 general election, the polling place setup will be different than prior elections.  All polling places will be set up to allow for social distancing, and plastic barriers will exist between election workers and voters.  Frequently touched hard surfaces, including the voting machines, will be sanitized on a regular basis, and hand sanitizer will be available to all voters.  Pursuant to the Governor's emergency directive, all voters should wear a mask to the polling place.  If you refuse to wear a mask, you may be provided with an alternative voting method.

The ability to operate in-person polling locations depends on the availability of poll workers.  Many regular poll workers cannot work this election because of the risk associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.  This means the counties need new poll workers, both for early voting and on Election Day.  Poll workers are paid, and it is very rewarding work.  To learn more about become a poll worker, please click here.

Information for Students and Out-of-State Residents:
Nevada residents who are students in another state or are otherwise temporarily residing in another state may vote in the 2020 Nevada general election.  To ensure your ballot gets mailed to you at your out-of-state address, you will need to update the mailing address associated with your voter registration record.  This can be done online by visiting www.RegisterToVoteNV.gov.  This website can also be used to register to vote if you are not currently a registered voter in Nevada.  Mail ballots are non-forwardable, meaning they will not be forwarded even if a voter has a mail forwarding service.

Information for Ex-Felons:
Any Nevada resident who:
  1. Was discharged from parole or probation before July 1, 2019;
  2. Is not serving a term of imprisonment on July 1, 2019; and
  3. Has not already had his or her right to voter restored
Is immediately restored the right to vote as of July 1, 2019.  These individuals are eligible to register to vote using any of the currently available voter registration methods.  Under Assembly Bill 431, which took effect on July 1, 2019, the restoration of voting rights for Nevada residents applies automatically upon the individual’s release from prison.  It does not matter if the individual was convicted of a felony in another state or in a federal court.  The automatic restoration of voting rights applies in all cases upon the individual’s release from prison.
