HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE

Voters can get the most out of this primary election guide by referring first to the sample ballot mailed to them from the Clark County Election Department.

Voters should find which races they will be voting in and then read the stories that pertain to those races.

INCUMBENTS

Incumbents are designated in their bio boxes with an asterisk (*) after their names.

DISTRICT MAPS

District maps are provided in this special section to help readers identify which offices serve them.

Because of limited space in the section, the exact boundaries of each district could not be defined street by street.
