Voter Registration Deadlines Coming

by

Clark County residents who are eligible to vote but not yet registered are encouraged to register to vote soon so they can receive their mail ballot for the June 9 Primary Election through the mail.

Also, County registered voters may check their registration information online to make sure their address and other information is correct.

Voter registration is available through the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office website at www.RegisterToVoteNV.gov. Registered voters may go to the same website or the County Election Department website at www.ClarkCountyNV.gov/vote to check their information and make any necessary changes. More information about the mail ballot primary election is also available at www.MailitinNevada.com.

“While the coming primary election will look different than anything we’ve done previously, registering to vote remains as easy as ever,” County Registrar of Voters Joe Gloria said. “If you still need to register to vote, please go online and register today.”

The June 9, 2020, Primary Election will conducted entirely by mail ballot throughout Nevada in an effort to limit interactions that could spread the coronavirus. All registered voters will be receiving a mail ballot, which they may return using the postage paid envelope that arrives with their ballot. Voters who do not mail their ballot to the Election Department will be able to drop off their ballot at any one of several locations that will open later this month. A schedule for the drop-off locations is available in the information mailed to each voter, and on the County Election Department website at www.ClarkCountyNV.gov/vote.

For County residents who still need to register to vote and registered voters who need to update their registration information, there are some upcoming deadlines to be aware of:

  • May 12 is the last day to register to vote or update your existing registration information through the mail in time for the June 9 primary. Anyone who registers or updates their information before May 12 will be sent a mail ballot.
  • May 21 is the last day to register to vote or update your existing registration information online through the Nevada Secretary of State’s website at www.RegisterToVoteNV.gov in time for the June 9 primary. Anyone who registers or updates their information through the Secretary of State’s website before May 21 will be sent a mail ballot.
  • May 22 to June 4, anyone who registers to vote online or updates their existing registration online between these dates will have to appear in person to receive and then turn in their mail ballot. Information about in-person locations is available through the Election Department website at www.ClarkCountyNV.gov/vote.
