If you are an active registered voter in Nevada, a mail ballot for the general election will arrive to your last registered address.
In-person:
Drop your signed mail ballot at any dropbox or in-person voting location in your country during early voting and on Election Day. You do not need to wait in line.
By Mail:
Mail your signed ballot in the addressed, prepaid return envelope. It must be postmarked by Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, 2026 but you should mail it back at least a week before Election Day.
The General Election is when Nevada voters choose from the candidates advancing from the Primary Election to fill federal, state, judicial, and local offices. Voters can also vote on ballot measures that apply to their community.
Who can vote?
All registered Nevada voters, regardless of party affliction.
Early voting in Nevada begins Saturday, October 17, and continues through October 30. Election Day is Tuesday, November 3.
LEAN wants to remind you: the power is yours. When you vote, you help choose the elected officials and policies that shape issues affecting us all, including housing, creation care, health care access, and the cost of living.
We encourage you to make a plan to vote and exercise your right as a citizen. You are part of this country, and your voice matters.
As you pray and discern where the Holy Spirit is sending you, we also pray for election workers and officials as they carry out the sacred responsibility of protecting every American’s right to vote.
Our democracy is strongest when people can make their voices heard.
Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada wants to remind you of the important dates.

During the June primary, 1,837 mail ballots in Washoe County were rejected because they received late postmarks. Nearly all arrived within Nevada’s four-day grace period, but they still could not be counted because they were postmarked after Election Day.
As we prepare for the November election, this is a real example of how a U.S. Postal Service processing change can affect mail-in voting. USPS now postmarks mail when it reaches a processing facility—not necessarily when it is placed in a mailbox. A same-day postmark is not guaranteed.
The burden should not fall on voters to navigate a complicated process just to make sure their vote counts. LEAN encourages voters to return their ballots by October 30. After that date, use an official drop box or return your ballot directly to the registrar’s office or a drop box at an Election Day vote center. If you mail your ballot, you can ask for a same-day postmark at the post office counter
