FAQs for the November 8, 2022, General Election in Clark County, Nevada
  • HOW IS THE VOTER TURNOUT PERCENTAGE DETERMINED?
    The voter turnout percentage is voter turnout (total number of ballots cast, one per voter) divided by the total number of active registered voters for the current election. See NRS 293.389.
  • WHY ARE THE RESULTS "UNOFFICIAL"?
    County or City level election results are “unofficial” until the County Commissioners or the City’s governing body and its mayor, as applicable, have canvassed the results. The County Commissioners must complete their canvass on or before the tenth day after Election Day (November 18, 2022). Cities will complete their canvassing of municipal contests by the date specified in their municipal code and/or charter, as well as in the NRS. See NRS 293.3625-293.397 and NRS 293C.3615-293C.395.

    State and federal level election results are “unofficial” until the fourth Tuesday in November (November 22, 2022) when the Nevada Supreme Court Justices meet with the Secretary of State to open and canvass the vote for U.S. Senator, Representative in Congress, members of the Legislature, state officers who are elected statewide or by district, supreme court justices, appeals court judges, district court judges, elected officials whose districts include more than one county, and state questions. See NRS 293.395.

    You may vote for “None of These Candidates” in U.S. Senate and statewide contests, i.e., Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, State Controller, Attorney General, Justice of the Supreme Court, and Court of Appeals Judge. See NRS. 293.269.
  • WHAT IS THE ORDER OF CONTESTS AND QUESTIONS ON THE BALLOT?
