Election 2026: Tracking Nevada candidate announcements
Our spreadsheet and rolling updates show who is in and who is out for races across Nevada.
Candidate filing is still months away — next March for those seeking a statewide, legislative or local government seat — but campaign season is already chugging along, with Republicans and Democrats announcing for public office.
Though judicial candidates cannot file until Jan. 5, and candidates for local government, the Legislature and statewide elections cannot file until March 2, some individuals seeking to attain or maintain a seat have already announced their candidacy and begun fundraising.
To keep you up to date on who has announced a bid for office, staff at The Nevada Independent is using this page to track announcements for public offices in Nevada.
For a full breakdown of who has announced so far, check out our tracker and live updates below.
Where applicable, candidates who are incumbents are denoted with a star, and party is indicated with colors and a letter following the name of the candidate, red for Republicans (R), blue for Democrats (D) and gray for nonpartisans (NP). Third-party candidates are marked similarly. Races without declared candidates are not yet listed.
It’s worth noting that nothing is official until candidates actually file for office, so this tracker will likely change.
