The Nevada Association of County Clerks and Election Officials (NACCEO), in collaboration with the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office, will host a Statewide Mock Election Demonstration on Thursday, February 26, from 2-4 p.m. at the Nevada State Legislative Building, Room 3100, in Carson City.

The event is being coordinated under the leadership of Douglas County Clerk-Treasurer Amy Burgans, who also serves as NACCEO Secretary/Treasurer, alongside NACCEO President Lacey Donaldson.

This interactive event will provide an inside look at the complete in-person voting process as it will occur in Nevada’s upcoming election cycle. Representatives from all 17 Nevada counties will demonstrate each stage of the process—including voter check-in, ballot casting, and tabulation—showcasing the secure and transparent procedures that support Nevada’s elections.

The demonstration is open to the public, media, and elected officials, offering a firsthand opportunity to observe how local and state election officials work together to ensure accuracy, security, and accessibility at every step.

“This mock election gives Nevadans a chance to see the system in action before ballots are cast in a live election,” said Burgans. “Our goal is to build public confidence by showing exactly how the safeguards and technology work together to protect every vote.”

For additional information, please contact Amy Burgans at 775-291-2123 or via email atNACCEONevada@gmail.com.
