Because of recent changes to state law, as well as the fact the 2020 primary election is being conducted primarily by mail ballot, Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske advises voters, candidates, and the media that primary election results will not be finalized until June 19, 2020.
By law, county election officials have seven calendar days to receive and count mail ballots that are postmarked on or before June 9. Counties also have 10 calendar days after an election to certify election results.
Results for the 2020 primary election will be released on the following schedule. All results are unofficial until certified by the county. Election results will be posted at https://silverstateelection.nv.gov

The decision to automatically mail every registered voter a ballot applies only to the 2020 primary election. The general election, which will be held on November 3, 2020, will be conducted under normal circumstances. As a reminder, any registered voter in Nevada can request to vote by absentee ballot for any election. The voter does not have to reside out of the state or have a qualifying reason to vote by absentee ballot. In order to request an absentee ballot for the 2020 general election, fill out an Absentee Ballot Request Application and submit it to your county election official.
In a news release, Secretary Cegavske stated she "would like to thank all 17 county election officials and their staff for the tremendous work they put into preparing for the state’s first ever vote-by-mail election. Since the vote-by-mail primary election was announced on March 27, countless hours have been spent in order to ensure the primary election could be conducted on June 9, as required by state law."
The Secretary "would also like to thank the voters of Nevada who have overwhelmingly responded positively to the temporary change to a vote-by-mail election."
