Early voting starts this Saturday in Nevada. 

Voters can go to any polling place in their county to cast their ballots - this will be the same for voting on Election Day as well.  

Mail-in ballots can be filled out and returned through the mail or dropped off at any of the county’s Vote Centers during Early Voting. Those who wish to vote in person can do so during Early Voting, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., October 19 through November 1 or on Election Day, November 5.  

Washoe County has a wait-time tracker on its website that shows how long a voter can expect to wait in line in real time. When voters arrive at a Vote Center, they will begin at the Intake Station, using new Poll Pads to confirm their information and sign in. These new Poll Pads provide real-time registration information so there is no delay in confirming valid registrations. Learn what they are and how to use them here.  

Vote Centers in Washoe County are accessible. The voting machines can be adjusted to zoom or change the contrast of the screen. There are audio options for the sight-impaired. Voters can use the ATI controller in conjunction with the audio ballot; the ATI controller is available with headphones or voters may bring their own with a 3.5mm headphone jack. Other accessibility devices, like paddles and sip-and-puff devices, are also compatible with our voting machines, however, the voter will need to provide these devices. 

Early voting runs through Friday, November 1.   

You can register to vote, update your voter registration or check your registration status on RegisterToVote.NV.gov. 

For Californians, early voting started on October 7th and goes until Election Day.

Voters in California will have to go to a specified polling place, which will be printed on the county voter information guide.
