Register to Vote

You aren't going to be able to vote to make marijuana legal if you are not registered to vote.  So if you are not registered to vote already, please take a couple of minutes to read the information below and follow the necessary steps to get yourself registered.  And be sure to encourage your friends and family members to do the same.

Who can register to vote?

Nevada law provides that you must be 18 years of age or over, a U.S. Citizen, and a resident of Nevada for 30 days preceding any election. If you will be 18 years old or will have met the residency requirement at the time of the election, you are also eligible to register to vote. Any person who has been declared by a court to be mentally incompetent is not eligible to register and vote. Felons who have not been restored to their civil rights are not eligible to register and vote; however, recent legislation has provided for automatic restoration of the right to vote for those who have been honorably discharged from prison, probation or parole, with certain exceptions related to the seriousness of the crime committed. For more information, see the Restoration of Voting Rights in Nevada page.

 

Where Can I Register to Vote?

Residents of Nevada can register to vote at any NV Department of Motor Vehicles office, at their County Clerk/Registrar of Voters’ office, various social service agencies and on college campuses.

 

Can I register to vote online?

Nevada law does not provide for online voter registration. However, you may obtain a copy of the federal voter registration application online at: http://www.eac.gov/files/voter/nvra_update.pdf.

 

When would I need to update my registration?

You will need to submit another voter registration indicating your current information if you have changed your physical address, your name, or your party affiliation.
