With a little more than two weeks until Election Day, Massachusetts, Nevada and New Mexico have each begun in-person early voting on Saturday.
Here’s what you need to know if you’re casting a ballot in these states:
Key down ballot races
Voting also begins today in several battleground House districts. For a full list of competitive races, see the latest Senate and House rankings.
- Nevada’s 3rd District: This district almost touches Las Vegas, but it stretches a long way west of that out to Henderson, Boulder City and rural Clark County. Democratic Rep. Susie Lee has served in the district since 2019; this year, she faces Republican Drew Johnson. This race is ranked Lean D.
- New Mexico’s 2nd District: New Mexico’s 2nd District occupies most of the southwest land area of the state. It includes Las Cruces and parts of Albuquerque, but it also has a chunk of rural vote. Democratic Rep. Gabe Vasquez won the district by just 1,350 votes in the midterms; this year, he faces the seat’s former Republican occupant, Yvette Herrell. This is a Power Rankings Toss Up.
- Nevada Senate: The Silver State also has a Senate race on the ballot. Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen seeks a second term in office, but faces Republican Army veteran Sam Brown. The Senate race is ranked Lean D.
