Clark County Elections received an application from candidate Don Benton for a partial manual recount of specific precincts involved for the Clark County Council District 5 Race.

Voters who have had their ballot rejected due to their signature on their envelope not matching the signatures contained in their voter registration record or because the signature is missing from their ballot return envelope may resolve those issues up until 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 28.

Signature update forms are sent to all voters with rejected ballots with a letter explaining how they may resolve their signature issue so their ballot can be counted. The letter explains that voters have until 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 28 to return the completed form, so their ballot may be counted.
