Pre-Registration
Nevada youth who pre-register to vote will have their registration become active once they turn 18 years old. Pre-registration does not change the voting age, which is 18. Instead, it allows eligible Nevadans aged 17 to complete voter registration providing sufficient time and opportunity to get ready to vote. Pre-registration methods and qualifications are the same as regular voter registration, except for the age.

A provisional ballot may be offered to those who believe they are registered to vote even though their names are not on the official voter registration list at the polling place and those who applied to vote by mail but would like to cast a vote in person.
Every voter who casts a provisional ballot has the right to find out from their county elections official if the ballot was counted and, if not, the reason why it was not counted.

-
Which party should I be affiliated with?
KAGC does not endorse any party or candidate; as such KAGC does not guide anyone to vote for, or be affiliated with, any specific party. In most parts of the United States, the Republican Party and Democratic Party are two major political parties. Throughout U.S. history, 19 presidents have been Republican (including Presidents Lincoln, Reagan, Bush, and Trump) and 16 have been Democrats (including Presidents Franklin Roosevelt, Kennedy, Clinton, Obama, and Biden). You may find more information on their respective websites.
When registering to vote, it is not mandatory for a voter to declare party affiliation. However, in some states including Nevada, primary elections are open to those voters with party affiliation, in which case you may vote only in the primary election of the party you are affiliated with.
-
Am I limited to vote for the party I'm affiliated with?
In the primary election in Nevada, only voters with a party affiliation are allowed to vote for their party’s nominees. In the general election, however, voters are free to vote for any candidate of their choice for each position on the ballot.
