Nevada Early Voting Update — October 27, 2026, 9 AM

Nevada's early voting numbers continue to show Democrats leading Republicans in ballots cast, although the difference between mail voting and in-person voting remains significant.

MAIL BALLOTS — Accepted statewide

Democrats lead Republicans by 30,350 accepted mail ballots, an 11.4-percentage-point advantage.

EARLY IN-PERSON VOTING

Approximately 181,000 ballots have been cast in person. The exact party breakdown at the 9 AM cutoff has not been established from the supplied screenshots, so I am not assigning party percentages to that total.

COMBINED EARLY VOTING

Using the 181,000 in-person figure and 265,542 accepted mail ballots, approximately 446,542 ballots have been cast and accepted statewide.

The mail-ballot numbers show a clear Democratic registration advantage. The final combined party percentages will depend on the in-person breakdown.

HOW DOES THIS COMPARE WITH 2022 AND 2024?

For a fair comparison, we need to look at the same number of days before Election Day, not simply the same calendar date. October 27, 2026, is seven days before Election Day. The equivalent dates are November 1, 2022, and October 29, 2024.

Historical election data show that Republicans had a substantial advantage in early in-person voting in both 2022 and 2024, while Democrats led mail voting in both elections. Those are full-election figures, however, and should not be confused with turnout at the equivalent point in each election.

The important distinction: These numbers identify voters by party registration, not which candidates they supported. Nonpartisan and minor-party voters are a substantial part of the electorate, and their candidate preferences cannot be determined from turnout statistics.

What the numbers tell us

2022 vs. 2026: Nevada has recorded approximately 90,042 more early ballots in 2026 than the 356,500 reported at eight days out in 2022. That's an increase of 25.3%. However, the 2026 count includes one additional day of voting.

A separate report from November 1, 2022 — exactly seven days before that election — indicated that more than 400,000 ballots had been cast by that afternoon, representing approximately 22% of active registered voters. Democrats led Republicans by approximately 12,500 ballots, or 3.1 percentage points.

Using that more comparable 2022 report, the 2026 total is higher by fewer than 46,542 ballots. The precise increase cannot be calculated without the exact 2022 count.

2024 vs. 2026: The 2024 presidential election had 695,250 early ballots at eight days out, compared with approximately 446,542 in 2026 at seven days out. That is 248,708 fewer ballots in 2026, or 35.8% lower than the reported 2024 total.

Important context

These figures combine mail voting and early in-person voting. They do not include Election Day voting.

David Flippo says his firing as a financial adviser two years ago was no big deal. “They did an investigation, not just the company, but FINRA, a federal investigation, they looked at all my transactions and everything,” Flippo, the GOP nominee in Nevada’s 2nd congressional district, argued in May. “They found nothing to discipline me for.” Rory McShane, his main campaign consultant, has been even more dismissive, claiming that “brokers and brokerages part ways all the time.”

Previously unreported documents obtained through public records requests provide new detail on Flippo’s 2024 firing by First Command, a company that largely serves military families and veterans. They show that Flippo was accused of making “willful misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact to establish a client relationship using securities that First Command typically does not accept.” The company then conducted a surprise office visit, determined that he “violated numerous company policies,” and quickly fired him.
