On Friday, Carson City Supervisors heard the official results from the 2024 General Election, and voted to certify unanimously.
Carson City Clerk-Recorder Scott Hoen and Deputy Clerk of Elections Emily Toups presented the results during the presentation, stating that a total of 31,149 Carson City residents cast their ballots this election — around 78% of active registered voters in the capital city.
According to Hoen, the majority of Democrats and Republicans turned out to vote, with a turn out of 86% and 84% respectively.
However, nonpartisan numbers were far lower, with only around 60% of nonpartisan voters coming out to vote.
The majority of voters opted to vote by mail, with 52.5% of ballots cast by mail, followed by 37.4% of voters heading to early voting. Around 3,100 voters showed up on election day, or around 10% of total voters.
Hoen did not discuss the ballot mistake that caused a reprinting of all Carson City ballots, or how much that issue had cost taxpayers. Hoen’s office told Carson Now in October that those numbers would be available once the election was over.
Statewide there were issues with potential signature mismatches, leading to ballot curing both locally and throughout the silver state. In Carson City, a total of 227 ballots needed signature cures. Of those, 94 ballots did not receive a cure by the Nov. 12 deadline and were not accepted.
