• Be at least 18 years old by election day
• Have resided in Nevada for 30 days prior to the election
• Not be currently serving a term of imprisonment for a felony conviction*

*As of 2019, any Nevada resident who is convicted of a felony is immediately restored the right to vote upon the individual’s release from prison. There is no waiting period or action required by the individual. The restoration of voting rights is automatic and immediate upon the individual’s release from prison, regardless of the category of felony committed or whether the individual is still on either parole or probation.

 

How to register to vote:

All counties now offer online registration, but if you are not eligible for online voter registration or prefer to register to vote using a mail-in voter registration form, you can complete a fillable mail-in voter registration form. To register to vote using the fillable mail-in voter registration form in .pdf format, visit the Voter Registration Form and follow the steps below:

• Answer the eligibility questions.
• Enter your personal information into the spaces provided and select ‘Generate Voter Registration Form.’
• Print out the form and don’t forget to sign it.
• Mail or deliver the form in person to the county clerk or registrar of voters in your county.

You may also register to vote at any NV Department of Motor Vehicles office, at your county clerk or registrar of voters’ office, at various social service agencies, and on college campuses.

 

Voter ID Requirements

You do not need to show ID when you vote in person in Nevada. First time voters may be required to show identification and establish Nevada residency if they did not provide a Nevada driver’s license or ID card or the last four digits of their social security number on their voter registration form.

 

Mail Ballot Voting

As of 2021, all registered voters in Nevada will receive a ballot by mail. You can request to opt-out by submitting this form [English], [Spanish], or [Tagalog] to your county clerk.

 

Early Voting

Early voting is easy in Nevada, and is available to every voter. Voters can vote at any location in their respective county where early voting is offered. Early Voting and Ballot Drop Off Locations will be posted when they are made available by the County Clerks, usually in mid-September.
