Elections and Campaign Finance Nevada 4 Minutes Read · published February 10, 2026 Flag of Nevada

In Sunrise Manor, Nevada, voters and advocates can request accessible polling places and accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This guide explains who to contact, the local and state offices involved, typical timelines and actions to secure accessible voting locations for municipal and county elections in the Sunrise Manor area.

How to request an accessible polling place

Start by contacting the Clark County Registrar of Voters to report accessibility barriers or request accommodations for a specific polling site or election-day service such as curbside voting or accessible voting machines. You can also notify the Nevada Secretary of State if the issue involves statewide practices or policy. For federal ADA enforcement, the U.S. Department of Justice oversees compliance and may accept complaints about systemic or site-level ADA violations.

Contact the Registrar at least several weeks before the election to allow time for site changes or alternative arrangements.
