Early voting in Clark County kicks off Saturday, May 23, and this year it comes with a tech upgrade. Nevada is rolling out a new mail-ballot tracking portal and text-message reminders ahead of the June 9 primary, giving Las Vegas-area voters real-time updates on when a ballot is mailed, when it arrives and when it has been processed. Election officials say the tools are meant to cut down on confusion and help voters confirm that their ballots were counted.
Track your ballot at MyBallot.NV.gov
The Nevada Secretary of State’s office now offers a mail-ballot tracker at MyBallot.NV.gov, where voters can sign up for text, email or voice updates and follow a ballot’s path through the mail and the county’s processing system. Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar said the notifications will let voters know when a ballot is mailed, when it arrives and when the county has processed it, which officials say should reduce uncertainty about missing or delayed mail ballots, according to FOX5. The portal is run by the Secretary of State’s office and mirrors tracking systems other counties and states have used in recent election cycles.
Key dates for Clark County voters
Clark County’s official calendar lists early voting from May 23 through June 5, with the primary set for Tuesday, June 9, 2026. County election materials note May 20 as the last day to register or update a registration and still receive a mailed sample ballot, and May 26 as the deadline for certain updates that affect mail-ballot distribution. Same-day registration and registration updates will be available in person at early-voting sites during that 14-day window, per Clark County Elections. Voters who register after the sample-ballot cutoff can still vote in person at any early-voting or Election Day vote center.
How to register and what ID you need
New voters can register or update an address online at vote.nv.gov. If you do not have an unexpired Nevada driver’s license or state ID from the DMV, you must register in person with your county elections office or mail a paper application, according to FOX5. When you register, add a current cell phone number if you want to receive text alerts about your mail ballot and double-check your address so ballots are mailed to the right location.
Tips for mail, drop-offs and voting in person
If you received a mail ballot but decide to vote in person, bring and surrender the mailed ballot at the vote center; if you do not have it, you will be asked to sign an affirmation before casting an in-person ballot, per county guidance. You can track delivery and processing online at MyBallot.NV.gov and contact the Clark County Elections Department if the tracker shows an issue or you never receive your ballot. The county website lists early-voting locations, hours and ballot drop-off sites so voters can pick the most convenient option.
