In Nevada, you now have the option to request a no-excuse mail ballot. You can request, complete, and return to your application to the Beaver County Election Office electronically or by mail.

In order to request your ballot, you first must be registered to vote. Please visit Check Your Registration Status to review your registration information

Requesting an Absent Ballot

Any registered voter may request to vote by mail. To request an absent ballot, you must complete and submit an Absent Ballot Request Form to the County Clerk/Registrar of Voters in the county where you are registered to vote. If you are a resident of Clark County, you may obtain the form from their website at http://www.clarkcountynv.gov/vote.

Permanent Absent Ballot

A registered voter who provides sufficient written notice to the appropriate county clerk may request that the registered voter receive an absent ballot for all elections at which the registered voter is eligible to vote. If you relocate to a different county within Nevada and you wish to continue to receive a Permanent Absent Ballot, you must re-register to vote in the new county and resubmit a Permanent Absent Ballot request with the County Clerk or Registrar of Voters office.

Deadline for Requesting an Absent Ballot

A request to vote an absentee ballot must be received by your local county election official no later than 5 p.m. on the fourteenth calendar day preceding an election. However, absentee ballot requests should be submitted as early as possible to allow enough time to receive, mark, and return your absent ballot by the deadline. If returned in person, absentee ballots must be dropped off by 7 p.m. on Election Day.  If returned by mail, absentee ballots must be postmarked by Election Day.  Absent ballots that are postmarked by Election Day and received no later than 7 days after the election will be counted.

Identification and Residency Requirements for First Time Voters

Please be aware of the identification requirement for first-time voters who vote by mail. To fulfill this requirement you must submit to your County Clerk/Registrar official identification of both IDENTITY and RESIDENCY with either your registration application or absentee ballot request form.  “Official Identification” means a government-issued, or otherwise official, article or combination of articles, which establishes both the identity and residence (see examples below).

Please direct any questions regarding absentee voting to your respective County Clerk/Registrar or the Elections Division at (775) 684-5705.
