Hi Friend,

We know this feels stressful, but we promise it’s going to be okay! We are officially in the final stretch! We knew results would be slow to come, so while we wait for the final results we’re here to offer you some peace of mind by providing what the final stretch entails. 

Over the past few weeks we have watched our election heroes work tirelessly to guarantee a seamless election process. We trust our Nevada election officials to count every vote to ensure we get full and accurate results.        

Nevadans have multiple ways they can cast their vote and make their voice heard. That means we have to count every single vote, no matter how long it takes. As democracy hangs in the balance, it is now more important than ever that we move slowly and accurately. 

We need to let our election officials do their job. 

It’s natural to feel on edge right now, especially given the importance of this election. But one of our most sacred rights is the right to vote, and election officials have a duty to ensure that every eligible vote is counted. 

WE (the voters) decide who wins elections, not politicians or political campaigns. The only person who can certify an election and name a winner is an election official. When election officials take the time to count and verify every ballot, that’s a sign that our democracy is working. COUNT EVERY VOTE! As more mail ballots are verified and counted, the results may shift. Ignore the polls, the pundits, and those who want to convince you it’s over before it's over — no matter what side they are coming from.

Sometimes mail-in ballots need a little extra love and need to go through a “curing” process to make sure they are counted. This means either your signature is missing, needs to be verified, or they just need to check your ID. If your ballot needs “curing,” you will be contacted by the elections department. Votes that need curing are public records, so you may also be contacted by a political campaign or advocacy organization to help you and make sure your vote counts. 

Keep calm and let democracy win!
