While we were hopeful to return to traditional inperson voting models by november, the passage of the simply bill 4 of the 32nd special session required each county to rapidly pivot to an allmailin general election. 6. 5 million ballots, one for each voter in the state, and a certain number of voting locations for early voting and on election day. With inperson voting also offered as an option, the result was more of a hybrid model where voters had a choice of how to participate. A Record Number cast a ballot in nevada this year. The final tally was 1,407,754. When measured as a percentage of active register voted, it was 27. 6 voted. Four counties had turnout over 85 . As usual, Douglas County had the highest turnout. As stated esmeralda and eureka. The county with the lowest turnout was mineral county, still at an impressive 74. 3 turnout. Voter registration efforts offered new challenges due to the pandemic, yet nevada gained 357,045 registered voters for the 2020 general when compared to the 2016 election. Bringing the number of registered voters across the state to 1,821,864, an increase of 24. 2 in active voters. The resulting breakdown of ballots cast was 49. 2 by mail ballot, 40. 9 in early voting, and 9. 7 on early election day.
