Absentee Ballots
Any registered voter may request to vote by mail. To request an absent ballot, you must complete and submit an absent ballot request form, which may be obtained from your local county election official (see County Contact Information). If you are a resident of Clark County, you may obtain the form from their website at www.accessclarkcounty.com. The absent ballot request form must be received by your local county election official by the appropriate deadline. We recommend that you submit your request form early to allow enough time to receive your ballot and mail your voted ballot back to your County Clerk/Registrar's office. All absent ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day in order to be counted.
Please be aware of the identification requirement for first time voters who vote by mail. To fulfill this requirement you must provide a copy of an acceptable form of identification* with either your registration application or absent ballot request form.
Please direct any questions regarding absentee voting to your respective County Clerk/Registrar or the Elections Division.
