Primary Election Information for Douglas County
A primary election in Nevada is a preliminary vote held before the November general election, where voters help choose which candidates from each political party will appear on the general election ballot for partisan offices such as President, U.S. Senator, and Governor, as well as select candidates for non-partisan offices like judgeships, school board members, and other local positions.
For non-partisan offices, all registered voters—regardless of party—participate on a single ballot to narrow the field.
