Nearly a third of state's voters have voted, post office says get your ballot mailed soon
With just over a week to go before Election Day and with ballots from nearly a third of the state’s registered voters already received, officials with the U.S. Postal Service are urging voters who plan to vote by mail to send their ballots off soon.
“As we anticipate an uptick of ballots in the mail over the coming days, Postal Service employees are working to ensure the ballots of every individual who chooses to vote by mail are delivered quickly and securely,” a press release said. “As in past elections, the Postal Service is ready to deliver your ballot on time. But don’t delay.”
The press release issued Monday comes as the secretary of state reported that Nevada voters had already returned 356,510 ballots — 339,244 of which were accepted by election offices — out of 1,993,201 ballots mailed out to registered voters.
Of that total, 7,508 were returned “undeliverable” or having a bad address, accounting for abut 0.4 percent of the total number of ballots mailed out. Another 2,684 were rejected by elections officials for, among other reasons, returning a ballot in the wrong envelope or returning the correct envelope without a ballot inside, according to the office of the secretary of state.
