Hey, Nevadans!

Just because Election Day (Tuesday, Nov. 3) is 20 days away, doesn’t mean you have to wait that long to cast your ballot for the 2026 midterm election.

The early voting period, which starts this Saturday (Oct. 17) and continues until Oct. 30, allows you to be ahead of the game—whether you decide to vote in person or by mail. 

Are you ready to make your voice heard in the midterm election? 

Make sure you’re ready with this check list:

[ ] Register to vote or check your voter registration

[ ] Review your rights (and the basics if you’re voting in Nevada for the first time)

[ ] Look over and research the candidates 

[ ] Mark up your sample ballot, it acts as your study guide

[ ] (Optional) Fill out your mail ballot and don’t forget to sign it!

• [ ] Return mail ballot by Nov. 3
• [ ] Track your ballot

[ ] Find your polling place if you plan to vote in person or drop off your mail ballot there

[ ] Make a plan—set a day and time, set a reminder, and even invite a friend

[ ] Cast your vote! 

Bonus: Wear your “I voted” sticker proudly 

See you at the polls!
