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 www.registertovote.nv.gov to ensure you receive a ballot.

If you are not an active voter, you must register to vote 14 days before Election Day at www.registertovote.nv.gov to receive a ballot in the mail. Otherwise, you can register in person at any voting center and vote in person, even on Election Day.

Nevada Legislators Protected Your Right to Vote

With the passage of Assembly Bill 321 during the 2021 Legislative Session, all active registered voters will receive a ballot in the mail. You can request to opt-out by submitting this form  [English], [Spanish], or [Tagalog] to your county clerk.

• Use a blue or black pen to fill in the oval for the candidate you’re voting for.
• DO NOT use felt tip pens or permanent markers.
• Mark your choices in each contest or question by completely filling in the oval to the right of each of your ballot choices.
• If you make a mistake, simply cross out the name of the candidate you mistakenly voted for. Fill in the oval next to the correct candidate. 
• If you choose to vote on some candidates or questions and not others, your ballot will be counted for those you have voted on.  This will not invalidate your ballot.
• If you mark more choices than permitted in a single contest, no vote will be counted for that contest, but the rest of your correctly marked ballot will be counted.
• Do not make any stray or identifying marks on the ballot itself.
• Put your ballot inside the secrecy sleeve and then return both in the provided envelope. Make sure your ballot goes back in the envelope that was mailed to YOU, not to someone else in your household. Then seal and sign where indicated.
• Make sure to sign the back of the envelope using the same signature as the one you used when you registered to vote.
• Mail it through the USPS or drop it at an official dropbox location. You can look up your drop box locations at https://www.washoecounty.gov/voters/.

This video demonstrates how to return your mail in ballot.

You can track your ballot using BallotTrax https://nevada.ballottrax.net/voter/. Login to Registered Voter Services and select “Track my Mail Ballot.”

Ballots must be dropped off at a drop box location by 7:00 pm on Election Day or postmarked on or before Election Day and received by the Washoe County Registrar of Voters’ office by 5:00 pm on the fourth day following Election Day to be counted.  

Law in Nevada makes voter registration available on the same day as the General Election, but we encourage people to register as soon as possible. 

All voters who are registered to vote no later than 14 days before Election Day will receive a mail-in ballot whether or not they requested one, unless they opt-out.

All active registered voters should receive a mail-in ballot, unless they have opted out. If you haven’t received one, check your voter registration information at the Washoe County Registrar’s website or the NV Secretary of State website to confirm you are an active registered voter.

If you’ve lost your ballot or did not receive one despite being an active registered voter, call the Washoe County Registrar of Voters at 775-328-3670. 

Most people do not need to bring their identification to vote. You only need to bring your ID if you are a new registered voter and fall under the following two categories. 

1. If you are a newly registered voter, who registered after October 15, 2022 or who is registering on the same day as you are voting, you will need to have a valid Nevada DMV ID. A license that expired after March 11, 2022 is valid through November 12, 2022 by order of the DMV. An “Interim Document” from the DMV, received upon application for an identification, is also sufficient.
2. If you are a newly registered voter, who registered before October 6, 2022 and did not provide identification when registering, you will need to provide valid photo identification at the polls.

Valid identification includes those issued by a Nevada university or college, Nevada state or federal government agency, and tribal identification, among others. 

Generally, it will be fine if it is valid and has your photo. If it has an address that is no longer accurate, you will need a utility bill, bank statement, paycheck stub, or another document that has your registered address on it.
