Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske, the state’s top elections official, on Tuesday announced her office would mail absentee ballots to all of Nevada’s active voters, who will mark their candidate choices at home before returning ballots in the mail or at a designated county drop-off location.
Cegavske says the virus-prevention effort will only apply to the June 9 primary, and not November’s general election.
According to the press release issued March 24, “active registered voters in Nevada will be mailed an absentee ballot for the primary election. No action or steps, such as submitting an absentee ballot request application, will be required by individual voters in order to receive a ballot in the mail. Voters will be able to mark their ballot at home and then return it by mail using a postage-prepaid envelope or by dropping it off in person at a designated county location.”
