The June 11 primary is important for a number of reasons, most importantly that if a candidate wins a large percentage of the vote, they will automatically win their seat in local elections.
In person early voting will run from tomorrow, Saturday May 25 through June 7. The polls will be open:
Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
May 28 - 30 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
June 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
June 3 - 7 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Election day takes place on June 11 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; as long as voters are in line by 7 p.m. they will be allowed to vote.
Mail-in ballots must be postmarked by June 11 in order to be counted, or they can be dropped off at a ballot drop box at the Carson City Community Center anytime the polls are open during early voting and on election day. Please note, they will not be accepted on Memorial Day as polls are closed for the holiday.
In addition, mail ballots are accepted at the Clerk-Recorder’s Office located at 885 E. Musser St. inside the Carson City Courthouse Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding Memorial Day.
