Live updates: Election Day begins for Nevada's 2026 primaries
It's Election Day in Nevada.
Throughout the day, Nevada Independent reporters will be tracking everything from voter turnout and issues at the polls to what voters are thinking about this primary season. Polls opened at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m., but people can still vote if they are in line by that time.
Election Day polling places can be found here.
We're not expecting significant turnout because Nevada has universal mail voting and a two-week in-person early voting period, but votes cast today could still play a key role in determining the winners in razor-close races.
In 2022, the most recent midterm election primary, about 215,000 people voted on Election Day, making up about 21 percent of all ballots cast.
So far, about 300,000 votes have been cast in the primary, mostly through mail ballots. The secretary of state's office will also be releasing updates here throughout the day on Election Day turnout.
To learn more about the races Indy reporters are paying most attention to, check out the latest edition of the Indy Elections newsletter. You can also check out the Indy's voter guide for information on the races, candidates and voting process.
This page will be updated throughout the day, and then we'll start delivering news on results at our election night live blog (bookmark this link).
