If you're waiting on Washoe County's final numbers, you're not alone. The estimates about 92% of ballots are counted, with roughly 15,800 mail ballots still outstanding as of 9 a.m. Wednesday.

Of those, 3,800 are in signature verification and 12,000 are being sorted, extracted and scanned. Another 2,300 provisional ballots, which are set aside and reviewed after the election, are under review for eligibility. Because processing continues, the numbers may have changed since they were reported.

  • Provisional ballots: expected in results early next week
  • Documents due: 5 p.m. Fri., Nov. 6

Elections

Washoe County officials say the election went smoothly, with 41 vote centers and no major issues

If you voted in person in Washoe, the county says things went smoothly. Communications Manager Bethany Drysdale said no major issues have come up with the count, and the last voter cast a ballot around 9:35 p.m. She also said reception to the new ballot marking devices stayed positive.

The county ran 41 vote centers, down from about 50 at the last general election, and put its equipment into busier "super center" sites. George Guthrie of the Registrar's office said Nevada law bars releasing results until all voters statewide have voted, and Clark County voting ran closer to midnight.
