Friend,

It’s the most wonderful time of the year — and by that, we mean the first round of early voting this election cycle! Are you ready to head to the polls and have your voice be heard? You have many options this year when it comes to how you plan to vote. Nevada has made voting easier than ever. Early Voting starts today, May 28th, 2022 and continues through June 10, 2022. The actual election day is Tuesday, June 14th, 2022.

Let's outline a couple of ways that you can get your ballot counted this year. The first is to vote in-person. You can vote at any vote center in your County - find locations & hours available for Clark County here and Washoe County here. Voters can register to vote AND cast their ballot on the same day at a designated vote center during Early Vote or on Election Day. Voters who want to do Same Day Registration must have a current, unexpired Nevada-issued ID to complete their voter registration. If a voter does not have a current Nevada-issued ID, they must provide one of the additional documents below:

• Military ID
• Bank or Credit Union statement
• Paycheck
• Car registration or insurance
• Utility Bill
• Any government doc

For updates to existing registrations, you can still do so online or in-person from May 27 to June 9, 2022, but you will only be able to vote on a provisional ballot in-person at any designated polling locations during Early Vote and on Election Day.

The second option is vote by mail. All active, registered voters will automatically receive a mail ballot with prepaid postage. Simply fill it out, seal it in the return envelope, SIGN THE ENVELOPE on the OUTSIDE, and drop it in the mailbox. If you did not get a mail ballot by today, please reach out to your Elections Department at (702) 455-8683 (Clark County) or (775) 328-3670 (Washoe County). Ballots must be postmarked ON or BEFORE Tuesday, June 14, 2022, and received by 5:00 PM on Saturday, June 18, 2022.

The third option is drop off your completed mail ballot at a designated polling location or ballot dropbox. Instead of mailing your ballot, fill it out, as described above, SIGN THE ENVELOPE, and drop off your ballot at a designated polling location or ballot dropbox of your choice, from May 28 – June 10, 2022, or June 14, 2022. For a list and schedule for drop-off locations in Clark County, go here. For drop-off locations in Washoe County, go here.  Also, If you are unable to drop off your ballot personally, a trusted individual CAN drop off your voted mail ballot for you. Voters can designate a trusted individual (family member or friend) to turn in their ballot by mail, ballot drop box, or polling location. There is no limit to the number of ballots a person may drop off.

Lastly, please visit www.VotesmartNV.org to find our nonpartisan voter guide and see the wide range of offices up for election this year. You can see who is running for each office and their responses to a list of survey questions that come straight from community members.

If you have any questions or problems while you are voting or during the primary you can call the Voter Protection hotline. We have numbers for the multiple languages that we provide support for, including English: (866)-687-8683, Arabic: (844)-925-5287, Spanish (888)-839-8682, and APIA Languages:(888)-274-8683.
