Early voting sets record

Turnout is high in Clark County on the first day of early voting, officials said today.

As of 2:15 this afternoon, more than 15,300 people had voted in Clark County, surpassing the record of 14,000 first-day voters set in 2004.

When early voting sites opened this morning, “there were a lot of eager people standing in line,” county Registrar of Voters Larry Lomax said. “It’s been busy everywhere.”
