Tuesday marks the final day for Nevadans to cast a ballot in the 2026 general election. Polling locations across the Silver State open at 7 a.m. and remain open until 7 p.m., giving every voter a full twelve‑hour window to make their voice heard.
Vote centers and flexible voting options
Washoe County, which includes Reno and Sparks, operates 41 vote centers. Voters may use any center in the county regardless of their home address, a convenience that helps reduce travel time and line congestion. An interactive map on the county’s website provides addresses and hours for each location.
Carson City voters can obtain local details from the Carson City Elections Office. Residents of Douglas, Lyon, Storey, Churchill, Pershing, Humboldt, Elko and other northern counties are directed to the Nevada Secretary of State’s county election resources for specific polling information.
Check wait times before you leave
Washoe County offers real‑time wait‑time data on its vote‑center map, allowing voters to compare locations in Reno, Sparks and surrounding communities. While there is no statewide wait‑time tracker, voters in other counties should contact their local election offices for any available updates.
Mail‑in ballots and drop boxes
Those who have already completed a mail ballot can drop it off at an official ballot‑drop box in their county before polls close. In Washoe County, staffed drop boxes are located at each vote center and remain open until 7 p.m. Voters can also track the status of their mail ballot using Nevada’s MyBallot voter‑information system.
Same‑day registration available
Eligible Nevadans who have not yet registered, or who need to update their registration, may do so at any Election Day polling location. The state’s same‑day registration process requires proof of identity and residency, details of which are listed on the Nevada Secretary of State’s registration page.
Live coverage and results
After the polls close, 2 News Nevada will shift its coverage to live election results, providing updates every half hour. Viewers can follow the real‑time tally at 2news.com/elections, which will feature statewide and national race outcomes, as well as detailed reporting on northern Nevada contests.
CBS News will also broadcast election coverage from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m., offering a broader national perspective. Throughout Election Day, the newsroom will monitor voter turnout, report on wait times, and share any developments that could affect voters.
Nevadans are encouraged to bookmark 2news.com, check their local vote‑center information, and stay informed as the state’s election results unfold this evening.
