On November 15, 2024, the Washoe County commissioners convened to canvass and certify the results of the 2024 general election. Meanwhile, in Clark County, election officials discovered 1,608 mail ballots that had not been tabulated, more than a week after Election Day. These ballots were found during preparations for the canvass and were confirmed to have been securely stored and under county control. Despite the late discovery, officials stated that the uncounted ballots did not affect the outcomes of any races. The Clark County Commission subsequently voted unanimously, 6-0, to certify the election results, which will be sent to the Nevada Secretary of State. Public comments during the meeting raised concerns about vote integrity, including accusations of deleted votes and intimidation, but these claims were addressed by officials.
