Nevada allows same day voter registration, but you must have a valid Nevada driver’s license or ID card and you must vote in person at a polling location.

At the polling location you will present your Nevada driver’s license or ID card to the election official and be provided the opportunity to register or update your existing registration.

The following items can be used as proof of residence:
