The Nevada Secretary of State, Cisco Aguilar, hosted Election Demonstration Day at the Nevada State Legislature on Tuesday.
State leaders and lawmakers got the chance see the election technology and ask questions on how it works.
They had things people could check out on the first two floors of the building.
The first floor had the poll pads that voters use to check in at polling locations, and the second floor had all the technology laid out where people could get a full picture of what goes on come Election Day.
"These are the educational opportunities that exist when the chaos of the actual election comes and everybody has questions and it's harder to get this information out," Cisco Aguilar said. "This information is being provided while there are legislative hearings going on about election legislation that they can see why the systems work the way they do."
There are two election-related bills that were heard Tuesday - both are in their second committees: Assembly Bill 306 and Senate Bill 102.
Aguilar says the central thesis to the demonstration is transparency.
"You know our office, we're trying to modernize, we're trying to be innovative, but also be transparent and this is an opportunity for legislators and state leaders to understand the systems we are using, and full transparency," he said. "We can talk directly to the vendor, I don't have to filter the information, they have the opportunity to talk about what works and what doesn't work."
The Secretary of State says they are always finding ways to improve.
"It'll also help the counties plan on their capacity when they know ballots are arriving, they can build the capacity to process those so they don't sit in possession for days," he said. "The counties had 99 percent of the ballots on hand on election day, they were able to process 90 percent of those ballots. We want to get to that 99 percent processing."
Aguilar says they are also planning on doing some outreach in the tribal and rural communities.
