Voter ID Details

If this is your first time voting and you registered to vote by mail, you will need to provide identification. We recommend a photo ID with your current address or an official piece of mail with your current address.

What happens when you go to vote without an ID

Voter ID is not required to vote a normal ballot in Nevada. If you need to update your voter registration at the polls and do not have valid ID and proof to do so, you will vote a provisional ballot.
