Same-Day Registration

How do I same-day register?
If you wish to utilize the same-day registration process you must have a valid Nevada driver’s license or ID card and must vote in person at a polling location (Tribal ID cards may also be used if they meet certain requirements). Any other form of identification, including a military ID or passport, cannot be used for same-day registration to prove your identity. 

At the polling location, you will present your Nevada driver’s license or ID card to the election official and be provided the opportunity to register or update your existing registration. If your Nevada driver’s license or ID card does not have your current residential address you will also need to present a valid proof of residence. The following items can be used as proof of residence:

  • A military identification card;
  • A utility bill, including, without limitation, a bill for electric, gas, oil, water, sewer, septic, telephone, cellular telephone or cable television service;
  • A bank or credit union statement;
  • A paycheck;
  • An income tax return;
  • A statement concerning the mortgage, rental or lease of a residence;
  • A motor vehicle registration;
  • A property tax statement; 
  • Any other document issued by a governmental agency; or
  • A tribal identification card.


Once you have provided the required identification and completed the registration process, you will be given a ballot. This ballot will be a provisional ballot.
A provisional ballot will be counted after the following information about the voter has been verified: 
 

  • Qualified to cast a ballot in the current election.
  • Did not cast multiple ballots in the same election.
  • Showed accepted identification during registration.
  • If necessary, provide additional proof of residency.
