In preparation for the midterm election season, Lutheran Advocacy Ministry Arizona has created A Congregational Guide for Election-Related Disruption to help congregations prepare for extraordinary circumstances surrounding an election—including uncertainty, misinformation, intimidation, violence or an unexpected armed presence at a polling place.

This 8-page guide is designed for pastors and deacons, congregational councils, polling-site hosts, staff teams, adult forums, youth groups and ecumenical partners. It may be used as a 60- to 75-minute discussion starter, while its final readiness checklist can be completed independently in about 20 minutes.

Your ballot goes through several steps—from your hands, to signature verification, to counting and canvassing. If you voted by mail, track your ballot at MyBallot.NV.gov. If you are notified of a signature issue, act promptly and contact your county election office.

Election night results are not final

After polls close on November 3, election officials will begin reporting unofficial results. The totals may change as additional eligible ballots are processed and counted. That is a normal part of the process.

Results remain unofficial until the county canvass is complete. Nevada’s canvass must take place by November 13. Follow updates at Results.NV.gov.

How do I know my ballot was counted?

If you voted by mail, check its status at MyBallot.NV.gov. If you have questions or your ballot needs attention, contact your county election office.

Election Day: Tuesday, November 3.
Stay informed. Make your voice heard.

Join us the day after the election for prayer as we pray for the Country, and we pray for a peaceful transition of power. All are Welcome
