What options do I have if my ballot is lost, stolen, or spoiled?

If your ballot is lost, stolen, or spoiled in Nevada, you have a few options. First, if you are registered to vote in Nevada but your ballot is lost or stolen, you can cast an emergency provisional ballot at your county clerk’s office. You may also choose to vote a replacement ballot at the polling place or vote center on Election Day. If you believe your ballot was spoiled due to a mistake or a printing error, you can return it to your county clerk’s office and request a new ballot. To do this, you should bring your spoiled ballot with you and a photo ID or other proof of your identity. If you have been issued an absentee, mail-in, or early voting ballot and it is lost or stolen, you can cast an emergency provisional ballot or vote a replacement ballot on Election Day. You may also be able to apply for a duplicate absentee, mail-in, or early voting ballot. In any of these cases, it’s important to remember that no matter who you are or why you may have lost your ballot, you have the right to cast your ballot and it will be kept confidential. If you face any trouble or have any questions, you can contact your local county clerk’s office for more information.
