Voter Guide 2020

Below are links to overviews of races and ballot questions on the Clark County 2020 ballot. We have deliberately focused on down-ballot and especially non-partisan races. Those contests for judges, school board and the like often get little attention and can be the most puzzling to voters. We start by providing answers to frequently asked questions about the process of voting in 2020, because it’s an election unlike any other. Stories will be updated, and new material added, as necessary. Share with your friends.
