Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, and there are still ways to help people in your community or participate in the election process.

Whether you want to work at the polls, find a community event, help someone with transportation, or connect voters with trained assistance, here are four places to start.

Check for last-minute election-worker openings

Nevada counties are still listing election-worker opportunities, but applying this close to Election Day does not guarantee a Nov. 3 assignment. Training is required before serving.

For county application links, requirements, and what to expect, read The Nevadan’s guide to becoming a poll worker in Nevada.

Find a Party at the Polls

Party at the Polls events are free, public, nonpartisan community gatherings organized through When We All Vote. The group says the events are meant to make voting feel more welcoming and celebratory.

Use The Nevadan’s Party at the Polls guide to learn what to expect and find current events near you.

Help someone figure out transportation

Know someone who may need help getting to the polls? Checking in and helping them find an option that works for them can make a difference.

Current resources include an Election Day Lyft discount, Las Vegas rideshare assistance, and transportation programs for some Reno-Sparks residents.

The Nevadan’s transportation guide breaks down the current options.

Help connect voters with trained assistance

Election Protection is a national, nonpartisan coalition that operates voter-help hotlines and trains volunteers.

One simple thing you can do is save and share 1-866-OUR-VOTE (1-866-687-8683). Multilingual assistance is also available.

Read The Nevadan’s Election Protection guide for voter-help resources and ways to participate.
