    Welcome to the RGJ Election Issues Live Blog: Voters’ one-stop shop for answers to questions about the 2024 general election. If you have any questions about the election process or anything election-related, please ask send by email to [email protected]. I will do my best to get answers as quickly as possible.

    To get started, here are some FAQs about the 2024 elections:

    When is Election Day 2024?

    Election Day will be this Tuesday, November 5, 2024. This will be the last day to vote in the 2024 general election. Washoe County polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day. However, you do not need to have cast your ballot by 7 p.m. If you get in line before 7 p.m. on Election Day, you can still vote, regardless of how long it takes you to get to the voting booth.

    How many people voted early in Nevada?

    Friday at 9 p.m., the Secretary of State published data this reflects that registered Republicans voted nearly 50,000 times more than Democrats statewide in early voting.

    Just over 50 percent of eligible registrants participated in early voting.

    Can I vote today, Monday November 4?

    No. If you missed early voting which took place from October 22 to November 1, you must wait until Election Day, Tuesday, November 5, to submit your ballot.

    Why are news organizations reporting early election results as if everyone will vote along party lines?

    The political system in the United States is a two-party system. For this reason, well-known third-party candidates running in federal elections generally do not show up on Election Day. Although nonpartisan voters make up a significant portion of the U.S. voting base (particularly in Nevada), researchers have determined that they lean either left or right on the political spectrum, or there is no didn’t have enough research on nonpartisan voters to determine how they would lean. vote.

    Because nonpartisan voters vote along party lines because they have few options to vote for a third party, they vote Democratic or Republican despite their lack of party affiliation and lack of voter data Non-partisan are some of the reasons why the media generally as if people vote along party lines.

    When will we know the election results?

    Mail-in ballots have been counted since 8 a.m. on October 21. Ballots cast in person on a machine during early voting cannot be counted until at least 8 a.m. on Election Day, November 5.

    Tuesday, November 5 at 8 p.m., roughly half an hour away, is a justified prediction as to when the first results will be released. It is a crime to release election results before the final vote has been cast, so the public will not see the election results until after 7 p.m. on Election Day at the earliest.

However, with a 3.6 margin of error in the polls, the race could go either way. Senator Jacky Rosen (Democrat) is also currently leading the polls ahead of Republican candidate Sam Brown.
