Reminder: Vegas, NLV, Henderson elections Tuesday
After thousands of mailers, dozens of TV ads and weeks of campaigning, voters today will choose between more than two dozen candidates for 10 City Council, mayoral and judicial seats in three of Nevada’s largest cities.
Some 28,000 municipal primary election voters in Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and Henderson have already cast an early ballot. That’s around 6 percent of voters registered in each municipality.
Those who haven’t will have a final chance to cast an in-person vote or turn in a mail-in ballot at 99 polling locations and voting centers spread around the three cities.
Races that aren’t settled by Wednesday morning — contests where one candidate doesn’t pick up more than 50 percent of the usually light primary turnout — will see the top two vote-getters square off for a June 2 general election runoff.
Polls in each municipality open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.
Las Vegans living in Wards 1, 3 and 5 will get a chance to weigh in on one of that city’s three City Council races.
Residents in all six wards can vote for mayor and for one judicial seat up for grabs. Both the mayor and City Council members serve a four-year term. Judges serve six years on the bench.
North Las Vegas voters registered in Wards 2 and 4 can cast a vote to settle a pair of City Council races today.
All Henderson residents can help decide City Council spots up for grabs in Wards 1, 2 and 4.
Las Vegans can vote at one of 76 polling places. A list of locations is at lasvegasnevada.gov/Elections/Election_2015.htm. Or you can call the city clerk at 702-229-6311.
Those in North Las Vegas can cast their ballot at one of 13 spots. A list of locations is at cityofnorthlasvegas.com. Or you can call the city clerk at 702-633-1030.
Instead of traditional polling places, Henderson has 10 “vote centers” that will be open to all voters from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. today.
Voters used to have to go to their own polling place, near their home. Now they can go anywhere they like, including a spot that might be closer to work.
A list of the locations — which include a library, a church, City Hall and some city recreation centers — is at VoteHendersonNV.com. Or you can call the city clerk at 702-267-1400.
Voters registered in unincorporated areas of Clark County do not vote in municipal elections.
Mesquite consolidated its elections with the 2016 presidential election. Boulder City does not have a primary contest in 2015.
