Request/Change for Tribal Polling Locations/DropBoxes

The 2021 Nevada Legislature enacted  Assembly Bill 321 which amended the process and timelines for tribes to request a polling location, a ballot drop box, or both in order to improve access to elections.

 At A Glance

  • Tribes can request more than one proposed location for a polling location and/or ballot drop box
  • Proposed locations must satisfy the criteria county clerks use
  • Polling locations/ballot drop boxes that are established must continue to operate every election unless the tribe makes changes or opts out
  • Tribal Polling Location Request Form

Tribes must submit a request by 5:00 pm on the first day of March for a primary election or by 5:00 pm on the first day of August for a general election . Requests should be submitted to receive a polling location and/or drop box. Tribal Chairmans should complete the form HERE and submit it to the respective county election official.

Note: If a polling place is provided on an Indian reservation or colony for early voting, the county election official is not required by law to also provide a polling location on Election Day. State law also establishes that a county or city election official is not required to establish a temporary branch polling place within the boundaries of an Indian reservation or colony in situations where it is not logistically feasible.

The Secretary of State's office is also able to answer questions about the law providing for the establishment of polling locations on an Indian reservation or colony. Questions for the Secretary of State's office should be emailed to NVElect@sos.nv.gov.

 

Voting Using EASE

The Effective Absentee System for Elections (EASE) allows members of a Nevada tribe residing on a reservation or colony to vote using the system. EASE allows voters to register to vote and cast a ballot online, without having to vote in person at a polling location.

Voting on EASE is live by Saturday, September 21 and can be accessed HERE.
