Thousands of Nevada Ballots Left Uncounted After Deadline  

Approximately 9,000 mail-in ballots in Nevada will remain uncounted after voters miss the Tuesday, November 12, deadline to resolve signature issues. Election officials reported that while over 23,000 ballots statewide were successfully “cured” before the deadline—representing 72 percent of those requiring corrections—meaning thousands remain disqualified.

Clark County, Nevada’s most populated region, accounted for the most uncured ballots, with about 7,500 remaining. Signature errors, such as missing signatures on return envelopes or discrepancies with voter registration records, were the primary reasons for curing. Election officials attempt to notify affected voters and provide opportunities to fix the errors.

Among the uncured ballots, more than half belonged to voters registered as nonpartisan or members of minor political parties, totaling about 5,144 ballots. Democrats had 1,782 ballots rejected, while Republicans had 2,263 ballots left uncounted.

Nye County demonstrated the highest success rate in curing ballots, resolving 96 percent of outstanding issues, equating to approximately 1,600 ballots. Washoe County followed with an 85 percent success rate, curing around 6,000 ballots. Clark County, however, managed to cure only about 66 percent of them, which would amount to approximately 15,000 uncured votes when correctly calculated.
