Ballot Curing

About Signature Curing

Nevada provides voters with the ability to resolve or “cure” issues with a signature on the mail ballot return envelope. Signatures are compared to official government-signed documents; if a voter’s signature does not match, the elections department begins the process to “cure” the ballot. A local election official will contact a voter by (one or all methods) mail, telephone, and/or email with information on how to “cure” their ballot if needed. The deadline to cure a mail ballot is Tuesday, June 18 by 5 p.m. PT.

Cure Your Ballot

A voter with a missing or mismatched signature can cure their signature in several ways. The signature curing process may vary by county because existing law requires local election officials to establish their signature cure procedures. 

The following is a list of ways to cure your ballot in Nevada:

• In-person
  • To cure your ballot in person, visit your local elections department, you can:
    • Provide your Nevada state-issued ID.
    • Answer a series of security questions such as providing the last four digits of your social security number or your date of birth.
      
• Online

• Over the phone

It is important to note the signature cure process is separate from voter registration and the tabulation of ballots. How a ballot is marked is not part of the signature curing process and providers do not retain or store any information during the signature curing process. Questions about curing a mail ballot should be directed to your local election office.
