Nevada: Every Vote Counts

Voters have until 5pm on Friday, November 6 to provide acceptable identification and provide further evidence of prior voter registration to ensure their provisional ballot is counted.
Voters have until 5pm on Thursday, November 12 to resolve deficiencies on their ballot, primarily signatures.

Provisional Ballots

Persons Voting for the First Time in Clark County Whose Registration Data did not Match Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or Social Security Administration (SSA) Records. These voters are notified by letter that they must provide identification at the voting site. If they do not, they may only vote a HAVA provisional ballot.
Individuals Who Are Not Listed as Registered in Election Department Records and Do Not Use the Same Day Registration Process. These individuals will be first asked to register and vote through the SDR process. Those who do not avail themselves of SDR and who also claim they are already registered may only vote a HAVA provisional ballot after affirming in writing they are currently registered and eligible to vote.

Provisional ballots are used for when participating in the same-day voter registration process. If you fill out the ballot, it will be counted once your new registration is verified.
There are circumstances, outside of same-day voter registration, where provisional ballots will not be counted without additional action on the part of the voter. For example, a voter who was notified of the need to present proof of identity needs to do so in order for their provisional ballot to count.

If you voted provisionally because you were required to provide ID and did not, your provisional ballot will be counted only if: (a) You provide a copy of proper identification to the county election department by 5:00 p.m. on the Friday following Election Day; and (b) you did not cast any other regular ballot in the same election.
If you voted provisionally because you were not listed as registered in Election Department records but did not use the Same Day Registration process, your provisional ballot will be counted only if: (a) you present acceptable ID at the voting site or to the county election department by 5:00 p.m. on Friday after Election Day; (b) further research shows you were registered and eligible to vote in Clark County, NV; and (c) you did not cast any other regular ballot in the same election.

Check Your Provisional Ballot Status

Local election officials will compare the signature on the early ballot affidavit with the voter’s signature in the voter’s registration record and additional known signatures from other official election documents in the voter’s registration record with the aim to confirm that the early ballot affidavit was made by the same person who is registered to vote.
A signature cure is needed if the voter forgets to sign their ballot return envelope or if the signature on their ballot return envelope does not match the signature on file for the voter. Voters have until 5:00 pm on November 12 to successfully cure their signature.

The County Recorder shall make a reasonable and meaningful attempt to contact the voter via mail, phone, text message, and/or email, notify the voter of the inconsistent signature, and allow the voter to correct or confirm the signature. The County Recorder shall attempt to contact the voter as soon as practicable using any contact information available in the voter’s record and any other source reasonably available to the County Recorder.
