Nevada 2026 election live updates: What we're watching

Key Points:

• Nevada's Election Day runs from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with most votes already cast through early and mail voting; Election Day votes, though a smaller share, could still influence key races.
• The Trump administration has recently charged five noncitizens with voting in Nevada elections, a rare move involving Attorney General Todd Blanche, sparking tension with state officials who dispute claims of widespread noncitizen voting.
• Early Election Day turnout data suggests a potential Democratic advantage, with Democratic early voting leading Republican turnout by over 40,000 and higher Democratic participation in Clark County compared to previous midterms.
• The governor's race is Nevada's closest and most expensive this cycle, with GOP incumbent Joe Lombardo facing Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford amid high spending disparities and the political influence of Donald Trump.
• In Nevada's House races, the 2nd Congressional District is highly competitive following Rep. Mark Amodei's retirement, with Democrat Teresa Benitez-Thompson and Republican David Flippo in a costly and closely watched contest influenced by national party support and controversies.
