FACT BRIEFCan you still vote in Nevada even if you miss a registration deadline?
Yes.
Nevadans can register to vote through Election Day.
Voto Latino, a group focused on increasing Latino political participation, posted on Facebook that Nevada's voter registration deadline was Oct. 6. However, that was only the deadline for Nevadans to register to vote by mail and in-person at county offices.
Voters can register to vote online on the secretary of state's website through Election Day. If they do so by Oct. 20, they are supposed to receive a mail ballot.
Nevadans can also register to vote in-person at an early voting or Election Day polling site. To do so, they must show a valid form of ID.
