Nevada voters can now get a closer look at what's happening with ballots across the state, from how many have been returned to how many still need attention. A new election dashboard aims to make that information easier to find and understand as the state heads toward the 2026 General Election.
The Nevada Secretary of State’s Office announced the launch of the Visual Interface for Voter Information and Data, known as VIVID. Available at VIVID.NV.gov, the dashboard brings together statewide election information, including voter turnout, mail ballot activity, and in-person voting.
“Transparency builds trust into our elections. The new VIVID dashboard provides real-time data directly from election officials about voter turnout, mail ballot activity, and more. It’s transparency you can see and understand,” said Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar. “Nevada is a leader across the country when it comes to the security, accessibility, and the voter experience. The Secretary of State’s Office is focused on modernizing Nevada’s election processes to continue strengthening security and transparency and finding innovative ways to help voters get engaged.”
The dashboard provides a statewide view of election activity through public-facing displays that bring together information from across Nevada. Voters can see how many mail ballots have been sent out, returned, accepted, or remain outstanding, with breakdowns by county and political party.
It also tracks ballots that need to be verified by county election officials, including those with missing or mismatched signatures, and shows how many have been successfully verified. Other data includes daily in-person early voting turnout and turnout by county and party during early voting and on Election Day.
The dashboard is part of a broader effort by the Secretary of State’s Office to make election information more accessible. The office also publishes daily reports showing ballot and voting activity for active registered voters across Nevada.
Those reports identify voters who have voted in person or by mail, ballots that need a signature cure, and outstanding ballots. The information is organized by county and congressional district.
Voters can access the reports through the Secretary of State’s VIVID informational page by scrolling to the “Voter List & Ballot Status Reports” section and downloading the file for their county and, when needed, their congressional district. If a ballot needs a signature cure, the Ballot Status column will show “Signature Cure Needed.”
To help more people find the new dashboard, the Secretary of State’s Office is partnering with the Nevada Broadcasters Association on a series of digital advertisements promoting the tool across digital platforms, television and radio. The ads are available in English and Spanish on the office’s official YouTube channel.
The office launched a beta version of VIVID ahead of the 2026 Primary Election and plans to continue improving the dashboard by adding more information and data.
With the General Election approaching, voters have several important dates to keep in mind. Early voting runs from Oct. 17 through Oct. 30, and Election Day is Nov. 3, when polling places will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Oct. 20 was the deadline to register or update an existing registration to receive a ballot by mail. Mail ballots must be postmarked on or before Election Day and received by county election officials no later than Nov. 7 to be counted. The Secretary of State’s Office recommends mailing ballots at least one week before Election Day. Voters can also return their mail ballots at any official drop box in their county.
Voters can sign up to track their mail ballots at MyBallot.NV.gov. Same-day voter registration is also available online at VOTE.NV.gov or in person at a polling location during early voting or on Election Day.
Nevada’s Effective Absentee System for Elections, available at NVEASE.gov, serves military and overseas citizens, Nevadans with disabilities, and Tribal members living on a reservation or colony in Nevada.
For questions about voting, registration, or the 2026 General Election, voters can contact the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office Elections Division at (775) 687-VOTE (8683) or email nvelect@sos.nv.gov.
