LAS VEGAS — About two weeks remain until the Nov. 5 election, but over 181,000 Nevadans have voted so far, either through in-person early voting or by submitting a mail ballot, according to data from the Nevada secretary of state’s office. That makes up about 9% of total active registered voters.

In the first two days of early voting, more than 64,100 Nevadans turned out to vote in-person early voting. Of those, nearly 32,300 were Republican, 19,000 were Democrat and 13,000 were nonpartisan or from another party, according to data from the secretary of state’s office.

That’s comparable to the first two days of early voting in 2020, when around 68,300 Nevadans turned out to vote, according to 2020 data from the secretary of state’s office.

Nearly 118,000 voters’ mail and EASE ballots have been accepted as of Monday morning. Of those, 50,170 were Democrats, 35,330 were Republicans and 32,053 were with another party. The people who have submitted their mail ballots represent about 6% of total ballots mailed out across the state.

Early voting will go until Nov. 1, and voters can submit their mail ballots anytime, as long as it’s postmarked on or before Election Day. Mail ballots can be processed and tabulated up to 15 days before the election, and early vote in-person returns can begin to be tabulated starting at 8 a.m. on Election Day, which could help results be released faster when polls close Tuesday, Nov. 5.
