Nevada’s June primary elections saw long lines stretching into the night, and results not released until the final voter in Clark County cast a ballot hours after midnight.

Now, with Election Day inching closer, voters who elect to cast a ballot in person might be wondering how to prepare for November 3. Here’s a quick rundown.

What to bring in case lines are long

It’s good to come prepared for a wait, so folks might consider phone chargers, snacks, water and portable chairs. “We’ve seen voters bring umbrellas, hats, water and chairs,” says Clark County spokesman Dan Kulin. “There might be a line at your polling place depending on when you go, so you should be prepared for that.”

Kulin stresses that voters simply dropping completed mail-in ballots at voting sites won’t need to wait in line. He suggested in-person voters should use their sample ballots to mark their selections and bring it with them to their polling locations. Being able to vote quickly can help mitigate everyone’s wait time, Kulin says.

Results rollout

Some results will be out “basically as soon as the last voter has voted on Election Day,” Kulin says. Early voting results and some mail-in result should be released very quickly, he says, and “relatively early” in the evening, after polls close on Election Day.

By the end of the night, the vote totals will include numbers from Election Day proper. Since mail-in ballots will be counted as long as they are postmarked by Election Day, the results will continue to be updated after Election Day.

Kulin says June’s primary election isn’t a good comparison because of the relative lack of in-person voting in that election. Voters primarily voted by mail, and the few in-person sites in the county were set up for those who needed to register or did not receive an automatic ballot.

In case of trouble

Kulin says poll workers should be alerted if voters witness any activity they’re not sure is allowed. “If voters have any questions or concerns while they’re at the polling place or in line at the polling place, we have folks who are outside monitoring the line and doing other jobs,” he says. Voters “should get one of those folks’ attention and let them know there’s an issue.” Potential further action will then be determined.
