Incumbent Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar is seeking a second term as the state updates its voting infrastructure. With the general election scheduled for November 3, Aguilar continues to advocate for mail-in voting accessibility.
Why it matters
Aguilar maintains that mail-in ballots are essential for voter participation in large, geographically expansive counties. He also remains committed to protecting voter data privacy by refusing to surrender such information to the federal government.
Official data shows 60 percent of voters utilized mail-in ballots during the most recent primary, with less than 2 percent of these ballots arriving after election day. Additionally, 70 lawsuits challenging 2020 results failed to prove any rigged outcomes.
