September 4 is Nevada's deadline to opt out of receiving a mail ballot for the November 3 general election; it is not the voter-registration deadline.

Lincoln County voters who do not want to receive a mail ballot for Nevada's November 3 general election must submit a mail-ballot preference form by Friday, September 4.

The September 4 date is an opt-out deadline, not the deadline to register to vote. Under Nevada law, active registered voters generally receive a mail ballot unless they opt out. Voters should also verify that their registration and mailing address are current.

The official 2026 election calendar lists October 6 as the standard deadline to register by mail or in person, October 7 through 20 as the extended online-registration period, October 17 through 30 for early voting, and November 3 as Election Day. Different identification and in-person voting rules can apply to late registration or updates, so voters should use Nevada's official voter portal or contact the Lincoln County Clerk for guidance about their own record.

Lincoln County's public elections page had not posted local polling places, ballot-drop locations, sample ballots or local voting hours when this article was verified on August 30. Do not rely on an older election's locations.
