Voting by mail is a one step process in Nevada. It is a vote-by-mail state, meaning that all registered voters receive a ballot in the mail. Step 1: After you complete your ballot, be sure to return ASAP!
You don’t need an excuse to request an absentee ballot. You can vote by mail for any reason.
After you complete your ballot, be sure to sign the outside of the return envelope. Be sure that your signature matches your signature on file with the state! If you registered online or at the DMV, check the signature on your license. If the signature does not match, your ballot could be tossed and will not count.
If it is your first time voting in Nevada and you are voting by mail, you must submit a copy of your valid photo ID with your application. Info here on what qualifies. If voting by mail, the signature on the ballot will be checked against the signature on file from the voter registration form.
Your postage is prepaid.
