In order to vote, register you must!

Friend,

Today is a very special day, that brings us feelings of fantasy, wonder, and heroes fighting for a brighter future. Of course, I’m talking about the first day that Nevadans will begin receiving their ballots for the upcoming 2020 primary elections! 

It’s also Star Wars Day. So, we wanted to share some wisdom with you about how you can ensure your participation in the June 9th primary, especially with the transition to a vote-by-mail system in the primary. 

First, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our 2020 VoteSmartNV nonpartisan voter guide in time for the primary! This easy-to-use, online resource compiles information and survey responses of each candidate running for various offices across the state. It also includes descriptions of each office, and links to the website and social media accounts of each candidate to find more information. It’s your one-stop-shop for informing yourself before returning your ballot. 

Make sure you’re voting smart! CLICK HERE before filling out your ballot!

It is important to note that the Institute for a Progressive Nevada DOES NOT ENDORSE! VoteSmartNV.org is a non-partisan website that lists every candidate's information equally. We created this in an effort to have all the candidate information in one convenient location. 

Second, if you sense a disturbance in the force that your voter registration may not be up to date (or if you’re not registered at all), you need to visit https://battlebornprogress.actionkit.com/go/83410?t=10&akid=49825%2E50184%2EA9iL3G RIGHT NOW. You can register or update your registration online and still receive your mail ballot, but DO NOT wait! Registrations after May 21st will only be able to vote in-person with a provisional ballot. Also make sure that your phone number and email address on your voter registration are current so the election department can more easily contact you. 

As we navigate participation in our democracy during these unprecedented times, we want to make sure you have all the information you need to make an informed decision before voting. 

Go out and vote smart, you will!

Annette Magnus
Executive Director
