NO MATTER WHAT, 
VOTE EARLY!

Every registered voter can vote by mail or in person. Every registered voter will receive a ballot mailed to them. You can mail your ballot in (but we recommend you drop it at a Vote Center) and track it at myballot.nv.gov.

Find an in-person voting location once locations have been assigned. Learn about Washoe County's accessible voting options, including curbside voting, accessible booths, and the right to assistance.

If you are disabled, an overseas citizen, or a uniformed service member or their family, additional resources are available at nvsos.gov/EASE.

Yes. If you are registered as an active voter, you will automatically receive a ballot in the mail. Check your voter status and address at nvsos.gov to make sure you receive one.

If you are not an active voter, register at least 14 days before Election Day to receive a mail ballot. Otherwise you can register in person at any vote center and vote in person, even on Election Day.

Under Assembly Bill 321 (2021), all registered voters receive a ballot by mail. You can opt out by submitting a form to your county clerk.

Every active registered voter in Nevada is mailed a ballot unless they've opted out. Your packet includes your ballot, a secrecy sleeve, and a prepaid return envelope.

• Use blue or black ink only — avoid felt-tip markers.
• Don't sign the ballot itself, and don't add stickers or stray marks.
• If you make a mistake, draw a line through the wrong choice and fill in the oval for your new choice — no correction fluid.
• Place only your own ballot in your return envelope.
• Sign the outside of your return envelope where indicated.

Mail ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and received by the statutory deadline. You can also drop your ballot at any vote center or drop box — you don't need to wait in the in-person voting line.

Track your ballot at myballot.nv.gov. If your envelope is missing a signature or your signature doesn't match, you'll be notified to cure your ballot.

Track your ballot at myballot.nv.gov.

General Election Day: November 3, 2026. Early Vote runs Saturday, October 17 through Friday, October 30.

Ballots must be dropped at a drop box by 7:00 pm on Election Day, or postmarked on or before Election Day and received by the Washoe County Registrar of Voters by 5:00 pm on the fourth day after Election Day.

2026 Washoe County vote centers. You may vote at any vote center in the county where you're registered during Early Vote and on Election Day.

For other Nevada counties, see the statewide polling locations list.

Nevada offers same-day registration through Election Day, but we encourage you to register as early as possible. Voters registered at least 14 days before Election Day automatically receive a mail ballot.

Check your registration at nvsos.gov/votersearch. If you're an active registered voter and haven't received a ballot, call the Washoe County Registrar of Voters at 775-328-3670.

Most voters do not need to bring ID. You only need ID if:

1. You are registering the same day you vote — a valid Nevada DMV ID (or DMV "Interim Document") is required.
2. You are a newly registered voter who did not provide ID when registering — bring valid photo ID to the polls.

First-time voters may be asked to submit official ID showing identity and residency with their mail ballot if their registration data didn't match DMV or Social Security records and they didn't respond to a follow-up letter. Questions? Call the Elections Division at 775-684-5705.
