What Candidates Need to Know About Early Voting
What Is Early Voting: Since 2000, more people in Clark County have voted before Election Day
(including by mail) than on Election Day and Clark County’s Early Voting Program has significantly
contributed to this. In the 2024 elections, more than 60 long-term and short-term early voting sites
will operate throughout the County. The many neighborhood early voting sites provide eligible voters
an opportunity to cast their ballot at a time and place convenient for them. Sites include shopping
malls, supermarkets, libraries, and community centers.
Who May Vote Early and Where: All voters registered in Clark County may vote before Election
Day at any early voting site, whether or not they have received a mail ballot. If you were sent a mail
ballot and have it with you, you must surrender it. If you received it but do not have it with you, then
you must sign an affirmation that you will not vote more than once in the same election.
Early voting sites are either “long-term," “short-term neighborhood,” or “permanent.”
! Long-Term Sites: At these sites, early voting is conducted at the same location for long
durations, e.g., the entire 14 days of early voting or for an extended number of days. They are
usually in high-traffic areas, such as shopping malls, shopping centers, and larger community
centers. These sites have 20 to 40 touch-screen voting machines.
! Short-Term Neighborhood Sites: At these sites, early voting is conducted at an individual
location for one to a few days. The sites are in smaller facilities (local supermarkets, libraries,
smaller community centers, etc.) and ensure all voters in the County have access to a site
located in their neighborhood. These sites have 6 to 15 touch-screen voting machines.
! Permanent Sites: Each Nevada County and City is required to have at least one “permanent”
early voting site. The days and hours of operation for permanent sites are specified in NRS
293.3568: (1) Monday-Friday, open for at least 8 hours, during times established by the county
or city clerk; and (2) Saturday, open for at least 4 hours, during times established by the county
or city clerk.
When Early Voting Occurs in Primary and General Elections: It begins the Saturday, 17 days
before Election Day, and continues everyday for 14 days, ending the Friday before Election Day (NRS
293.3568):
! May 25-June 7, 2024: Early voting for the June 11 Primary Election
! October 19-November 1, 2024: Early voting for the November 5 General Election
Site Schedules: Hours and days for early voting vary by site. A few months before an election, the
complete schedule with specific sites, dates, and hours will be available by various means:
! Internet: www.clarkcountynv.gov/vote
! E-Mail: elinfo@ClarkCountyNV.gov
! Early Voting Schedule Brochures: Available anywhere you find Voter Registration
Applications, e.g., Department of Motor Vehicles, post offices, libraries, etc.
! Sample Ballots: The front section of your sample ballot contains an early voting schedule.
Sample ballots are mailed before early voting begins.
! Newspapers: The schedule is published the week before early voting begins and at least once
each week during early voting.
