It goes without saying that no matter which party you’re pulling for, this is an important election year! With Las Vegas being as transient as it is, though, many people don’t give much thought on registering to vote, but it really couldn’t be any easier.

Canvassers have already started working parking lots and going door to door in an effort to get people registered. In fact, new voter registration is already double what it was at this point for the 2004 elections!

Deadlines
Make sure you keep an eye on deadlines and don’t let them slip past: The Primary Elections deadline is July 12 (July 13-22 for in-office registration), and the General Election Deadline is October 4 (October 5-14 for in-office registration).

Register In Person
Voter registration can be done before a Field Registrar (canvasser) or by going to any of the following locations:

• The Clark County Election Department
• Las Vegas City Clerk
  City Hall, First Floor
  400 Stewart Avenue
  Las Vegas, Nevada 89101
  229-6311
  Business Hours: Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• North Las Vegas City Clerk
  City Hall
  2200 Civic Center Drive
  North Las Vegas, Nevada 89030

Register By Mail
The Clark County website offers forms to download, print and mail in.

Mail-in voter registration applications are also available at the following locations and must be submitted on or before the registration deadline:

• The Clark County Election Department (702-455-8683)

Of course, make sure you’re qualified to register first! Before registering to vote in Clark County, you must:

• Be a U.S. citizen
• Be at least 18 years of age by election day (you may register if you are 17 years old and will be 18 by the next election day)
• Have continuously resided in Clark County for at least 30 days and in your precinct for at least 10 days before the next election
• Claim no other place as your legal residence
• Not currently be laboring under any felony conviction or other loss of civil rights that would make it unlawful for you to vote (Convicted felons who have had their civil rights restored are eligible to register to vote)
• Not be determined by a court of law to be mentally incompetent
