Vote Nevada Supporters,
As we slide into 2024, I wanted to share a timeline of election and interim legislative session events.
Judicial candidates file for office between January 2nd and January 12th. If you’re thinking, “Wait? What? We elect judges?” No worries, Vote Nevada’s “Why we elect judges” presentation will be posted on the Vote Nevada Blog by Tuesday.
We are also putting together a coalition of nonpartisan organizations to host a “Meet the Judicial Candidates” forum in late February or early March. This hybrid event will allow voters to learn more about our judicial branch of government as well as the best questions to ask judicial candidates.
On January 6th Vote Nevada is hosting our Interim Legislative Strategic Planning Session from 9 to 10 am, via Zoom. Join us to plan our strategy for the interim legislative session. You can RSVP here: https://vote-nevada.news/Interim-Strategic-Planning-2024
On January 13th, 9 to 10 am, via Zoom, Vote Nevada is celebrating legend Shirley Chisholm, who was the first woman to run for president under one of the major parties and served for many years in Congress. Her autobiography is titled Unbought and Unbossed. Let’s chat about that title and head into 2024 with Shirley Chisholm energy! RSVP here: https://vote-nevada.news/Lets-Chat-Shirley-Chisholm
The Presidential Preference Primary is coming up soon. Mail-in ballots will be sent to voters registered as Democrats and Republicans before the beginning of early voting on January 27th. Voters who use their mail-in ballots can drop ballots in the mail or in a secure box at any in-person voting site.
If you use your mail-in ballot, please be sure to sign the back of the envelop.
Early in-person voting runs between January 27th to February 2nd. Voters can drop off their mail-in ballot or vote in-person on election day as well, which is February 6th.
If you are not registered as a Democrat or a Republican, you will need to change your party registration to be able to vote. You can do so here: https://registertovote.nv.gov/ You can change your registration up to election day.
If you are registered Republican, you can also participate in the Republican caucus on February 8th. The primary is managed by the state, while the caucus is managed by the Republican Party. You can read the caucus rules here: https://nevadagop.org/2024-presidential-caucus/
The reason this primary is called a preference primary is because the results inform the parties who their members would like the party to endorse as their nominee. In the case of the Democrats the winner of the primary will be the voters’ preference, but it will be the winner of the caucus who will be the Republican voters’ preference.
The Democrats will not have a separate caucus.

I am doing a presentation about Nevada’s 2024 elections, including the Presidential Preference Primary, for the American Association of University Women of Nevada on Friday, January 12th, at 1 pm, via Zoom. You can RSVP for the event here: t.ly/YAioc
Looking forward to the June primary, which covers all other elected offices, Vote Nevada is putting together a coalition of nonpartisan organizations to host candidate forums for city council and county commission races. These forums will cover what our city councils and county commissions do as well as introduce the candidates. We are looking at April dates for these hybrid events, so, stay tuned!
Please stay safe this New Year’s weekend and thank you for being Nevadans with me.
