As early voting kicks off in Southern Nevada, residents are actively weighing their options for the upcoming Election Day. On Saturday, voters aged 18 to 97 flocked to the Desert Breeze Community Center, one of many polling places where locals can exercise their right to vote.

In true Las Vegas fashion, residents engaged in some uniquely entertaining ways to encourage voter participation. From an ‘I Voted’ stickered Sphere to a live performance by Lil Jon at Area 15, the entertainment capital of the world showcased its vibrant spirit on the first day of early voting.

“What up, Cisco?” Lil Jon exclaimed as he welcomed Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar to the stage.

Aguilar’s office oversees elections across the state, emphasizing the critical role Nevadans play in the national political landscape. “Nevada is a battleground state. We’re a purple state. We’re a swing state,” Aguilar stated. “Our votes are going to determine who the next president of the United States is, and Nevadans need to understand the significance of their vote.”

The Secretary of State highlighted the benefits of early voting, noting that it allows clerks to efficiently process ballots, ensuring that every vote is counted. Rojean Logan, who cast her ballot at the community center, expressed her pride in participating in the democratic process. “It makes me proud of our state and the people that live here,” she said.

Early voting will continue until November 1, and residents can find a list of polling places on the Clark County website. As the countdown to Election Day begins, the excitement and engagement in Southern Nevada are palpable, reminding everyone of the power of their voice in shaping the future.
