More than 47,000 voted in person during the first weekend of early voting in Clark County

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Many people aren’t waiting to cast their early voting ballots in Southern Nevada.

Clark County’s election website shows that more than 47,000 people voted in person on early voting sites. County officials say voter turnout on Saturday, the first day of early voting, was higher than the first day in 2020.

Almost 4,000 people voted at the Galleria Mall on Saturday and Sunday.

FOX5 was told locally that the wait to vote at the mall lasted more than two hours on Saturday.

On Monday the vote was again strong. Voters told FOX5 the wait was up to an hour and a half. Others said they waited about 30 minutes.

Some people in line said there was too much at stake to wait to vote.

One voter said he wanted to vote early and did so after waiting three hours to cast his ballot on Election Day in 2020.

According to Clark County data, Galleria at Sunset saw its highest early in-person voter turnout over the weekend with 3,926 votes cast. This included 2,334 votes cast on Saturday and 1,592 on Sunday.
