As the 2024 US Presidential Election approaches, states are grappling with how to handle ballots cast by voters who die before Election Day. Laws vary significantly across the country: 10 states mandate that such ballots be counted, while three states allow for these ballots to be challenged on the grounds of the voter's death. Additionally, 11 states explicitly prohibit counting ballots from deceased voters. In Nevada, more than 1 million residents have already voted, and 14,469 mail-in voters need to verify their identities for their votes to be counted. Voters are also being informed about how to track their mail-in ballots, and Nevada's new centralized voter registration system will be tested in this major election.
