Did you know? Normally you do not need an ID to vote in NV, BUT if you register during early voting or on election day you can ONLY use a NV ID or tribal ID. The good news? It just got easier to get an ID!

The DMV’s metro offices (Decatur, Sahara, Flamingo, Carson or Reno) will extend its office hours so you can get a NV-issued license or state-issued ID to register.
