Las Vegas voters preparing for the June 9 primary election now have a dedicated online resource at their fingertips. The Las Vegas Review-Journal activated its comprehensive voter guide on Tuesday morning, offering a centralized hub for candidate information. This biennial initiative equips residents with direct insights into the races shaping local, state, and federal leadership.[1]

A One-Stop Resource for Informed Decisions

The voter guide compiles responses from candidates who received questionnaires in April. These surveys cover backgrounds, qualifications, and policy stances, presented in the candidates’ own words. Voters can navigate multiple contests efficiently, comparing positions without sifting through disparate sources.[1]

Executive Editor Glenn Cook emphasized the guide’s value. “We encourage all primary election candidates to respond to the questionnaire. It’s not too late,” he said. “This is information voters will use to make their choices.” Participation remains open, with candidates invited to email voterguide@reviewjournal.com if they have not yet submitted responses.[1]

Navigating the Guide and Ballot Landscape

Access the guide directly at lvrj.com/voterguide. It addresses partisan seats in Congress, the state Legislature, the Clark County Commission, and city councils. Dozens of judicial races across various courts also feature prominently, reflecting the breadth of decisions facing voters.[1]

Nevada operates a closed primary system for partisan contests, requiring affiliation with the relevant party. Nonpartisan races, such as certain mayoral bids and judicial positions, remain open to all registered voters. This structure underscores the guide’s role in clarifying eligibility and options for diverse electorates.[1]

Timeline and Practical Steps for Participation

Mail ballots will arrive in mailboxes over the coming weeks. In-person early voting begins May 23, providing ample opportunity before Election Day on June 9. The general election follows on November 3, where primary winners advance.[1]

Additionally, the Review-Journal plans a special print edition this Sunday focused on judicial candidates. The secretary of state’s office has introduced official text notifications to keep voters updated. These measures collectively aim to boost engagement amid a packed ballot.[1]

• Guide activation: May 5, 2026
• Early voting starts: May 23
• Primary Election Day: June 9

Empowering Stakeholders in a Pivotal Cycle

Candidates benefit by reaching voters directly through unfiltered responses, while Clark County residents gain tools to evaluate options in high-stakes races. Judicial contests, often less publicized, receive particular attention through the online platform and upcoming print supplement. This approach supports transparency in Nevada’s electoral process.[1]

As primary season unfolds, the guide stands as a practical bridge between complex ballots and civic participation. Voters equipped with these resources can approach the polls with greater confidence, ensuring their voices shape the path forward.
