Silver Staters head to the polls

Candidates for governor, Senate, House top ballot

For the first time in a statewide election, Clark County residents can vote at any one of 172 voting centers in Clark County, but one candidate worries the new voting system will shut out voters who may head to old polling sites.

“I am very concerned that longtime voters will continue to go to their old polling locations only to find them closed with no recourse to find a nearby vote center,” said state Sen. Tick Segerblom, who is running for the

Clark County Commission and urged elections staff to post paper notices at inactive voting sites.

Tuesday’s primary election is the first vote in a crucial year that will see Silver State voters choose a new governor, new members of Congress and more.
