Early voting for the 2026 Nevada Primary Election starts on Saturday and runs until June 5.
There are several polling locations throughout the state, and to find the nearest one to you, click here.
"Early voting is the same as Election Day," said George Guthrie, Public Information Officer, Washoe County of Registrar of Voters Office. "The only difference is that early voting a lot of times is a lot more convenient."
If you are planning to head out to vote, here is everything you need to know.
You should check your voter registration before you head to a polling location, but if not, there is no need to sweat.
"Nevada's really accessible when it comes to registering to vote," Guthrie said. "If you're not registered and you just want to walk into a vote center one day and vote, you absolutely can do that."
Guthrie suggests bring a proof of identification and a proof of residence because the county will need that information to figure out which local races you can vote in based on where you live.
For nonpartisan voters, if you've received your mail-in ballot, you probably noticed the choices are limited.
Nevada runs closed primaries, meaning that you can only participate in primary elections for the party you are registered.
However, if you are a nonpartisan, you can change your party registration if you would like to vote in either the Republican or Democratic races, but you can't vote in both.
Once your registration is good to go, you'll get your voter card, and make your selections on the tablet.
It may look very similar to the last election cycle, but there is one notable difference.Â
"You're still going to make your choices on the tablet, but instead of those votes being on that little receipt in that little box that you take a look at and you're kind of wondering, okay, okay, verifying your votes. Okay, I see it. Now, when you vote on that, you're going to be printing out a full length ballot," Guthrie said.
After your ballot is printed, make sure you put it in the scanner before you go. If you leave the voting center or polling location with that ballot, your vote will not count and you won't be able to try again.
One way to skip the line, is filling out your mail-in ballot and then dropping it off at a drop box location.
You also don't have to leave the comfort of your own home with your mail-in ballot, but you should send that sooner rather than later.
"Every mail ballot has to be verified by the signature," Guthrie said. "Your signature has to match your record, and sometimes people aren't as careful with their signatures as they need to be, and it doesn't match. And if you send in the ballot way too late, you know on Election Day you've only got a very short window to contact our office."
Signature cures must be submitted by 5 p.m. on June 15, six days after the Primary Election June 9.
