Information from the Washoe County Registrar of Voters
Early Voting
Early voting is for you if you can't, or don't want to, go to your specified polling place on November 4. With early voting, you have a 14 day window during which to vote, and you can do so at numerous locations. Find out how this works in my article on Early Voting in Reno and Washoe County.If you have any concerns about whether or not you are registered to vote, check the Washoe County Voter Registration Status website. By simply entering your last name and birth date, you can make sure you are actually registered and that your information is correct. This is vital should your right to vote be challenged.
