Drop Boxes Surge as Ballot Rules Loom

In Washoe County, mail-in ballots dominated the primary—with 60% of voters choosing that method. But here’s the twist: a whopping 40% of those ballots were actually dropped off in person at drop boxes, not mailed, especially as Election Day neared. With 20% of all mail-in ballots arriving on Election Day itself, voters clearly want their voices heard—and are taking action. This trend could get even more critical if the Supreme Court rules in Watson v. RNC, potentially allowing ballots postmarked by Election Day to be accepted in 19 states, including Nevada. Election officials will need to act fast—but with drop box usage already high, educating voters might be smoother than expected.
