Early voting is now underway across Nevada until November 4th. 

More than 300,000 residents are registered to vote in Washoe County.

All registered voters will receive a mail-in ballot unless they opted out more than 60 days prior to the election. Those mail-in ballots can be sent via U.S. Postal Service or dropped off at any vote center in Washoe County.

Washoe County has 18 early voting locations where you can also update your voter registration or do same day voting registration.

Officials are saying this year, they expect a good turnout for early voting. 

Jamie Rodriguez, the Interim Registrar of Voters for Washoe County says, "We hope that people continue to take advantage of the multitude of options that we provide our voters here and participate in all of those options including early voting." They also say ballots have to be mailed in by election day on November 8th.  If you received a ballot and forget to bring it in to early voting...Rodriguez mentions "If you are out and about and decide to vote and think 'oh I forgot my ballot I can't vote' not a problem, you can still vote you just have to sign an affidavit stating that you don't intend to use that mail in ballot."

Many of the early voters we spoke to say everyone should get out there and vote.

Gladys Cupp says, "A lot of people say, 'Oh my vote doesn't count' but it does." Some residents tell us they like to vote early because they might be busy during the main voting day, and most work Monday through Friday, taking advantage of the convenience it provides. 

Richard Allegretti says, "I don't have to stand in line, I remember one year we stood in line for at least an hour." Today he shared his voting experience took 5 minutes, making for a quick trip.

Regardless of who they plan to vote for, the people we spoke to all agreed on one thing: Voting is important...Cupp encourages "Everybody that's old enough to vote should vote." Allegretti adds "It's your right to vote, it's your right to choose who you want to represent you."
