Clark County voters will print, review and scan ballots in person this fall

A new final step

Clark County's 2026 in-person voting process begins with check-in and a vote card. Voters make selections at a ballot-marking device, print the ballot and review it, then insert it into a tabulator to cast the vote. Printing alone does not complete the process.

The calendar

The county lists Oct. 17–30 for early voting and Nov. 3 for Election Day. Its official election page links the current site schedule, addresses and maps. Clark County residents may use any county early-voting location or Election Day vote center, rather than one assigned neighborhood polling place.

Registration continues after Oct. 6

Oct. 6 is the county's standard registration deadline. Online extended registration and updates run Oct. 7–20, followed by the online same-day registration period Oct. 21–Nov. 3. In-person same-day registration is available during early voting and on Election Day, subject to identification and eligibility requirements. Check the county's instructions before using that process.

Where to check your record

The Election Department's Registered Voter Services links allow residents to review their record and related information. Its registration guidance distinguishes applicants with current Nevada identification from other applicants, who have different options and deadlines. Questions can go directly to the department at 702-455-8683 or ELinfo@ClarkCountyNV.gov. Use the official schedule for each location's hours; the department office's business hours are not a substitute for voting-site hours.

If you are registering at a voting site

The county's dedicated same-day registration guidance lists an unexpired Nevada driver's license, state identification card, DMV interim document or qualifying Nevada tribal identification card. If the address does not match where you currently live, bring an accepted document showing your name and current Clark County residential address. The county lists examples including a bank statement, paycheck, utility bill, vehicle registration or lease.

Proof of residence supplements the required identification; it does not replace it. A new same-day registrant must cast a ballot at the site where registration is completed. The county explains that these new-registration ballots are provisional and counted after eligibility checks. Updating an existing registration has its own instructions, so do not assume every update follows precisely the same process.

If a mail ballot is missing or you choose to vote in person

The county says to contact the Election Department immediately if a mail-ballot packet has not arrived by the start of early voting. Its published contact is 702-455-8683 or MailBallotRequest@ClarkCountyNV.gov. Receiving a mail ballot does not force someone to use it: county guidance allows voting in person instead. Bring the unused mail ballot to surrender if you have it; otherwise, the county says voters sign an affirmation that they are not voting twice.

Returning a completed mail ballot

Use the return envelope issued specifically to you and sign its outside. The county warns against putting a ballot into another voter's envelope. Official drop boxes are available at early-voting sites and Election Day vote centers, with hours published in the election materials. The county's mail-ballot page also links the state's return-status checker. Check the full current instructions for mailing deadlines and signature issues rather than assuming that depositing an envelope and having it accepted are the same step.
