Week 1 of early voting is over. Here's where turnout stands.

More than 550,000 ballots had been accepted by the end of the first week of early voting, according to a report from the Secretary of State’s Office.

This puts turnout so far at 28% of eligible registered voters, with one week of in-person early voting and Election Day still ahead. By state law, mail ballots can be received and counted up to four days past Election Day, as long as they were postmarked by Election Day.

More than half — 56% — of voters so far used a mail ballot, further showcasing the popularity of the vote by mail option, which Nevada implemented in 2020 as a response to covid then made permanent in 2021.

In 2020, only 7% of voters physically cast their ballots.
