Though Election Day is Tuesday, election officials say it will take some time before Nevadans learn final results or find out who won and who lost some close races.
“It’s certainly not going to be final on election night, but we will keep the general public informed every day that we get results in, and by the end of the day we will have new reports available until we’re through with the counting,” said Clark County Registrar of Voters Joe Gloria.
In-person voting will be concluded Tuesday, but Gloria said mail-in ballots can be accepted “until the Saturday after the election as long as they are postmarked by Nov. 8.”
“I would not recommend anybody, if they are involved in a close race, to say they think they’ve won or that they haven’t won,” he said.
With the upcoming election determining if Democrats maintain control of the House and the Senate, eyes are on Nevada to see if four congressional Democratic incumbents — three in the House and one in the Senate — will retain their seats.
In addition to the races for federal offices, polls have indicated that multiple races, including the contest for governor and down-ballot races such as secretary of state, could be decided by razor thin margins.
So what happens on election day and beyond?
