Final Hours for Clark County Voters to Cure Mail Ballot Signatures as 5 PM Deadline Looms

NORTH LAS VEGAS, NV — Election administrators inside the Clark County Election Department entered the final phase of post-election voter remediation on Monday, counting down the last hours for electors to authenticate flagged mail-in ballots before the statutory deadline closes.

Under Nevada election law, Monday, November 9, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. PST marks the firm deadline for any voter whose mail ballot envelope was flagged for a signature discrepancy to complete the curing process.

At the county’s central tabulation hub on Trade Drive in North Las Vegas, election staff have been processing cure affidavits and digital ID submissions submitted over the weekend.

Automated high-speed optical sorters had flagged outer affidavit envelopes where the voter signature was either missing or did not match historical signatures on file with the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or statewide voter registration rolls.

Ballots that are not successfully validated by 5:00 p.m. will be rejected and excluded from the certified canvass.

Three Pathways for Southern Nevada Voters to Cure Ballots

County election officials stressed that curing a flagged ballot does not require an in-person trip to North Las Vegas. Electors notified by the county via text, email, or physical mail can resolve discrepancies through three authorized methods:

1. Digital Upload (Mobile): Access CURE.NV.gov, select Clark County, and capture a photo of a valid government-issued ID using a smartphone camera.

2. Affidavit Submission: Complete the Signature Cure Affidavit and return it with a photocopy of acceptable identification via email to mailballotrequest@clarkcountynv.gov or by fax before 5:00 p.m.

3. Verbal Phone Verification: Contact the Clark County Election Department directly at (702) 455-CURE (2873) to answer identity-challenge questions with an election clerk.

County administrators noted that postmarks do not apply to cure affidavits—all submissions and calls must be completed before the 5:00 p.m. cutoff to be tallied.

Countdown to Final Canvass and Recount Deadlines

Once the cure window closes at 5:00 p.m., tabulation teams will scan validated ballots and finalize official precinct-level tallies ahead of Tuesday’s statutory deadline.
