State investigators are pursuing 180 cases of Nevadans trying to vote twice in November’s election.
The number comes from the Secretary of State’s latest quarterly report on election violation reports and investigations, released Friday.
The report also shows 762 Election Integrity Violation Reports were filed where someone thinks Nevada election law has been violated. Of those, 243 cases remain open, 515 were closed with no charges and four were closed with a violation indicated.
Between double voting and election violation reports, 11 cases have been referred for possible prosecution this year: two from the Presidential Preference Primary in February and nine from June’s general primary.
The state provided no details on the possible prosecutions, but none seem to be in Washoe County.
Double voting in Nevada in 2024
Voting twice or attempting to vote twice is a felony in Nevada.
If the state finds no intent to vote twice — such as a father mistakenly voting with a ballot meant for his son who has the same name and then the son trying to vote — the case is closed, it’s labeled as having no violation and a “civil notice” warning is given to the voter to be more careful next time.
