Washoe and Jackson Counties Process Final Provisional Ballots

Election officials in two jurisdictions are completing the final stages of the 2026 General Election count. In Washoe County, the Registrar of Voters is adding approximately 1,500 eligible provisional ballots to the totals. With 99% of ballots already counted, this update represents the final scheduled processing as all deadlines for mail ballots and signature curing have passed.

Simultaneously, the Jackson County Board of Elections met on November 10 to adjudicate 262 provisional ballots. Elections Director Amanda Allen reported that 98 ballots were accepted and added to the state results dashboard, while 164 were rejected. The board determines eligibility based on registration rolls and photo identification without viewing the votes cast. Jackson County continues to process overseas and military ballots, which are due by Thursday.

Both regions will move toward certification this week. The Washoe County Board of County Commissioners will conduct an official canvass in Reno on Friday, November 13, at 10 a.m. Jackson County has a public canvass meeting scheduled for Friday at 11 a.m., with a subsequent state canvass in North Carolina set for November 24.
