Election Day is over, but for thousands of Clark County voters the election is not finished yet. If you voted by mail, Nevada law requires the signature on your return envelope to be compared with the signatures in your voter registration record. If that envelope had no signature, or the signature could not be verified, your ballot is on hold until you cure it, and the clock is short.
On Tuesday evening, Clark County had flagged 7,139 mail ballots for signature problems, according to Vegas Daily Wire's November 4 report. Of those, 3,521 had been fixed, leaving 3,618 ballots still waiting on their voters. That is why checking today beats waiting for a letter.
How You Find Out, and How to Check First
The Clark County Election Department notifies flagged voters three ways: a notice and affidavit by postal mail, an email with the affidavit attached if it has your email address, and robocalls every day until you cure if it has your phone number. If you receive no notice by mail, email, or phone, the department says you do not need to submit an affidavit or take any cure action.
Do not rely on the mailbox alone. Use this quick check:
- Track your returned mail ballot at myballot.nv.gov, the Nevada Secretary of State site the county points voters to.
- Check your email and voicemail for a cure notice, not just your postal mail.
- Look at the county's online signature curing data for the current election.
- If anything looks flagged, call the Signature Cure Hotline at (702) 455-CURE (2873), open Monday through Sunday, 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The 3 Ways to Cure, and the Trap in 2 of Them
The county gives you three options, and all three must be completed by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, November 9, 2026, or your ballot may not be counted.
- Option 1, mobile, the fastest: Go to CURE.NV.gov, select your county, scan the county QR code or follow the link, and use your phone camera to submit a photo of your ID.
- Option 2, affidavit plus ID: Complete and sign the Signature Cure Affidavit and return it with a photocopy of an acceptable ID, such as a Nevada driver's license or DMV ID card, in person, by email, by fax, or by mail.
- Option 3, challenge questions: Complete and sign the affidavit and answer all three questions, the last 4 digits of your Social Security number, your place of birth, and your date of birth, or call the Election Department and answer verbally by phone.
Here is the fresh detail most voters miss: for Options 2 and 3, the county states plainly that postmarks do not count. Your affidavit must be received before 5:00 p.m. on November 9. Mailing it on Monday is too late. Email, fax, the mobile site, a phone call, or a trip in person are the safe routes this late in the window.
Two Deadlines, Two Different Jobs
| Deadline | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Saturday, November 7, 5:00 p.m. | Last arrival time for a voted mail ballot that was postmarked on or before Election Day, November 3 |
| Monday, November 9, 5:00 p.m. | Last time to cure a missing or unverified signature |
If you need to go in person, the Election Department is at 965 Trade Drive, Suite A, in North Las Vegas, open Monday through Sunday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. for cure returns. You can also email your affidavit to [email protected] or fax it to (702) 455-2831. Act today, confirm the county received it, and your ballot goes back into the count instead of sitting out the closest races.
