Washoe County residents set record for early voter turnout

Washoe County is ready to open all 86 polling locations on Election Day.

Reno, Nevada. Nov. 7, 2016. The Washoe County Registrar’s Office reports a record 129,727 people in Washoe County voted early for the General Election. The previous record was 111,189 early voters for the 2012 General Election.

Registered voters who did not early vote, can do so during Tuesday’s General Election. Washoe County is prepared for all 86 polling locations throughout Washoe County to open Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2016.  

Each voter registered in Washoe County will have from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. PST on Nov. 8, 2016, to cast a ballot at his/her assigned polling place.

Voters who are unsure where their polling places are can find that information on the back of their sample ballots or by visiting www.washoecounty.us/voters. All that is necessary is last name and date of birth to access all of a voter’s specific election information.

Voters are asked to fill out their sample ballots ahead of time to help speed up the voting process at the polls.

If registered voters have any questions about their sample ballot or anything else General Election- related, they should contact the Washoe County Registrar of Voters Office at (775) 328-3670.
