The voter has the right to present the required identification until 5 p.m. on the Friday following the election. NRS § 293.3085.
No. The statute states that if the county or city clerk determines that the voter utilizing the provisional ballot cast the wrong ballot for the address at which the person resides, the vote shall not be counted. NRS § 293.3085.
The county or city clerk is responsible to determine the voter’s registration status, eligibility, and receipt of the proper ballot. A voter who failed to provide required identification may provide that information. NRS § 293.3085.
Nevada does not have an automatic recount. Candidates may request a recount. NRS § 293.400 and .403.

In Nevada there is no identification requirement on Election Day. The only exception is if this is the voter’s first time voting in a federal election or the voter registered to vote via mail and did not provide a copy of acceptable identification at that time. Acceptable identification includes: 1) a current and valid photo identification of the person, which shows his or her physical address; or 2) a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, or document issued by a governmental entity, including a check which indicates the name and address of the person, but not including a voter registration card issued by the state.
