Signature Challenges

Signature challenges occur when a voter does not sign the envelope which contains the voted ballot or when the signature on the ballot return envelope does not match the signature we have on file. If your signature is challenged, you will receive a letter from Clark County Elections. If you provided us with your contact information, we will also attempt to contact you via phone, text, and email.

To fix any signature challenge issues, carefully follow the instructions on the form you receive and return the form to Clark County Elections. All signature challenge forms must be received by our office no later than 5 pm the day before the election is certified. For this election, the date of certification is November 26th. So, the signature form must be received no later than 5:00pm on November 25th. Return your completed form in the envelope provided or drop it off in person to ensure your form is received before the deadline.

PLEASE DO NOT COMPLETE THE FORMS BELOW UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY OUR OFFICE THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH YOUR BALLOT.
