A general election was held in the U.S. state of Nevada on November 3, 2020.[2] To vote by mail, registered Nevada voters must ensure each ballot is postmarked by November 3 and received by November 10, 2020.[3]
Incumbent Republican President Donald Trump was challenged by Democratic nominee Joe Biden in 2020.[2] Prior to election day, news outlets and polls predicted Nevada to have a slight lean towards Biden. Nevada has six electoral votes in the Electoral College.[4]
Incumbent justice Kristina Pickering ran for re-election. Justice Pickering was the only candidate to receive over 50% in the primary election, making her the only candidate to move onto the general election, where she was re-elected unopposed.
Incumbent Judge Bonnie Bulla was appointed by Governor Steve Sisolak in 2019 to replace Abbi Silver, who was elected to the Nevada Supreme Court in 2018.[12] Judge Bulla ran for re-election to serve out the remainder of Justice Silver's term, ending in 2022.
On the ballot were five statewide questions for Nevada Constitution amendments. The first one appears to be rejected while the four other questions are approved.[14]
Question 2 repeals the struck-down same-sex marriage ban, replacing it with a gender-neutral formulation.
