Washoe County has counted about 92% of ballots, and a provisional-ballot deadline is today
If you voted by mail or cast a provisional ballot, here's where things stand. Washoe County estimates about 92% of ballots are counted in the 2026 General Election. As of 9 a.m. Thursday, about 14,000 mail ballots remained, and the county is reviewing about 2,300 provisional ballots.
Signature checks are moving: 200 mail ballots were in verification Thursday, down from about 3,800 Wednesday morning. If workers can't verify your signature, you have to confirm your identity, which is called curing a ballot. George Guthrie, the Registrar's office public information officer, said staff worked through the night on Election Day votes.
Mail ballots in signature checks fell from 3,800 to 200
