Going into Election Day, Republicans had cast 42,238 more votes than Democrats in Nevada.
Cumulative totals released by the Nevada Secretary of State’s office showed that of 1,089,092 votes, 37.7% of them had been cast by Republicans, 33.8% by Democrats, and 28.6% by nonpartisan and third party voters.
The totals include votes cast in person during the early voting period that ended Friday as well as mail ballots received and processed Monday.
The million-plus votes cast so far represent 53.5% of Nevada registered.
A little more than three-fourths of Nevada registered voters cast ballots in the last two presidential election cycles – 77% in 2016 and 78% in 2020.
Officials with the Secretary of State’s office noted that during this June’s primary the single day that most mail ballots were received was the day after Election Day, because so many people deposit their mail ballot in the mail or in a drop box on Election Day.
