Voter Registration Services are available in English and Spanish at both Las Vegas Urban League WIC locations. The CDC is recommending these precautionary practices for people voting in person: · Wash your hands before entering and after leaving a polling location. · While in the polling location, frequently use alcohol-based hand sanitizers containing at least 60 percent alcohol, especially after touching surfaces frequently touched by multiple people, such as door handles or voting machines. · Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or the inside of your elbow. Throw used tissues in lined trash cans. Wash your hands or use an alcohol-based sanitizer. · Wear a mask. · Maintain at least 6 feet of distance from others. · Do not disinfect or wipe down the voting equipment yourself. · Avoid crowds. Whether or not you request a ballot by mail, all active registered voters in Clark County will automatically receive a mail-in ballot for the General Election. A listing of drop-off sites will be included in your mail-in packet, and can also be viewed online at: www.ClarkCountyNV.gov/ The Las Vegas Urban League Women, Infants and Children Program is a 501c (3) program that is funded by the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services Division of Public Health.
