Mail Ballots in Nevada: Procedures, Requirements, and Processing – An FAQ

October 28, 2024

This policy brief provides an overview of Nevada's mail ballot system, explaining its procedures, requirements, and processing steps.

Since 2021, Nevada has permanently adopted a mail voting system where all active registered voters automatically receive a mail ballot unless they opt out. The state’s approach allows voters to either mail in their ballot or cast their vote in person, while measures are in place to prevent double voting.

The brief also defines the roles of county election officials and describes safeguards to ensure ballot integrity.

This policy brief is part of a series of election information briefs produced by the Guinn Center in the fall of 2024. These briefs are funded, in part, by the Democracy Defense Project.
