LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar believes the state is well poised to have a safe and secure election as hundreds of thousands of Nevadans have already voted.
The 2024 general election is the largest yet for the Democrat whom voters elected in 2022. Aguilar works with his staff and 17 county clerks to ensure a smooth process.

“Nevada’s in a good position to have a solid election,” Aguilar said. “Our elections are safe because of the safeguards that are built into the process — whether you decide to vote in person or by mail, there are safeguards and processes built in to ensure the security of the ballot.”
Aguilar stressed those security measures are often swapped out for misinformation.
Three easy-to-remember election security features include: Every Nevada voter is assigned one ID number, which makes sure one person gets one vote; signatures on mail-in ballots are checked with a machine and may also go to a bipartisan review team; and voting machines do not connect to the internet – they also print out a physical audit trail.
