Vote Early (Before Election Day): |

|
Early Voting starts the 17th day before Election Day and continues for two (2) weeks, ending the Friday before Election Day. |

Vote by Mail: After January 1, 2010, request a mail ballot in WRITING. A printable request form for the 2010 elections will be available by logging-in to the Registered Voter Services section of our home page and selecting the option Request a Mail Ballot from the "I want to..." dropdown menu. If you are not registered or you incorrectly logged-in, you will receive the following message: "No record found for your search criteria. You are either not registered to vote in Clark County, Nevada, or you incorrectly entered the required search information."
The Election Department (or your City Clerk in municipal elections) must RECEIVE written requests no later than 5:00 p.m. the Tuesday prior to Election Day. |

Refer to Your Sample Ballot When Voting: |

Get One if You Don’t Have One: If you lost or did not receive your sample ballot at least 10 days before election day, call 702-455-VOTE (8683) or send an e-mail to elinfo@co.clark.nv.us.
If you are currently registered, you may also view and print your specific sample ballot on the Internet by logging-in to the Registered Voter Services section of our home page and selecting the option View My Sample Ballot from the "I want to..." dropdown menu.

Know Your Polling Place and Precinct |
|

|
Check Your Sample Ballot’s Back Cover: You will find your polling place address, printed in RED, a map and your four-digit precinct number (above your name and address). |
|

|
Use Your Precinct Number: You can quickly find the precinct table where you must report at your election day polling place if you know your precinct number before arriving. |
|

|
Get Help If You Don’t Know Your Polling Place or Precinct: If you don’t have your sample ballot or Voter Registration Card, do NOT go to a polling place without being certain it is yours, as you may not be allowed to vote if you are at the wrong location. |

If you are registered, find your polling place address and precinct on the Internet by logging-in to the Registered Voter Services section of our home page and selecting the options View My Registration Information and Get Directions to My Poll Place from the "I want to..." dropdown menu.

|

|
Call the Election Department at 702-455-VOTE (8683) for your polling place and precinct. |
|
|

|
If you are at the correct polling place, but don’t know your precinct number, stop by the table by the entrance to the voting area and an election worker will direct you to your precinct table. |
|
Know Your Time-off Options |
|

|
Time-Off From Work: If you cannot vote before or after work on election day, Nevada law (NRS 293.463) requires your employer to give you time-off. You must request the time-off before election day and your employer may choose the time. The amount of time-off depends on the distance between your work and polling place. If your work place is: |
|
|

|
2 miles or less from your polling place, you are allowed one hour. |
|
|

|
2 - 10 miles from your polling place, you are allowed two hours. |
|
|

|
More than 10 miles from your polling place, you are allowed three hours. |
|
Know the Correct Voting Procedures |
|

|
Assistance: If you need assistance when voting, immediately notify an election worker upon entering the polling place. |
|

|
Sign In at Precinct Table: Go to your precinct table to start the process--you will sign your name in the precinct register by your facsimile signature from your Voter Registration Application. |
|

|
Know How to Use the Voting Machines: Study the instructions in your sample ballot, follow the directions given by poll workers and ask questions if you don’t clearly understand anything. Click Here to go to Voting Instructions. |
