Nevada voters are casting ballots on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, for statewide offices and ballot measures, and for a governor and U.S. House seats according to the Associated Press and NewsNation. Polls close at 7 p.m. local time, or 10 p.m. Eastern, and voters in line at closing may still vote. Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo is seeking a second term against Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford. NewsNation reports that Lombardo is endorsed by President Donald Trump and that the race is projected to be very tight. CNN is publishing live county-by-county results for statewide races and the ballot measures.

How each side tells it

Compare views

Both sides present report that Nevada voters are casting ballots on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, for statewide offices and ballot measures. The main difference is form: CNN’s page is a county-by-county results tracker, while center outlets focus on the Lombardo–Ford governor race.

  • the left

    1 outlet

    CNN’s headline and excerpt are neutral live-results pages listing county-by-county tallies for statewide races, the Henderson mayor race and ballot measures, without naming the governor race.
