Same Day Registration (SDR):

With "Same Day Registration" you may register to vote or update your current voter registration in-person at any Early Voting or Election Day polling location during a current election. 

If choosing to register in person, all new registrants must provide a current and valid Nevada Driver's License, Nevada Identification card or Tribal Identification card and proof of residency (if different than the address on your identification). 

You will need to register or update your information 30 days before election day. After that date you can only register or update your registration online or in-person at a Vote Center.
