Voting Precincts and Polling places
In order to find out where to vote, check out the Election Department’s Web site, which has a simple online form to look up polling places and precincts.

Using Voting Machines
The electronic voting machines can be intimidating, but the process is rather simple. Once you arrive and sign in, the clerk will give you a voting receipt with you precinct number and direct you to an election official, where you will receive your voting machine activation card.

The electronic voting machines work much like an ATM machine and walks you through each step of the voting process; choices appear onscreen and you make your selection by touching the screen. After all choices have been made, you must confirm your choices are correct and make sure there are no mistakes before casting your ballot. For more information and an instructional video, check out the Clark County Election Department's voting machine guide.

Election Results
Election results can be found in several places after the polls close at 7 p.m. on election night. Results can be found online at the Clark County Election Department homepage and on cable Channel 4.
