Map of Ward 6 Las Vegas - Due to the high number of county islands in the area do not rely on this map alone
This is what you need to know.
Do you live in Ward 6?
This is not easy to answer by maps alone. As you can see there are several spots in the middle of the map that are white. This designation is for “county islands” pieces of property and even whole neighborhood communities that are not part of the city of Las Vegas.
The best way to determine your actual city council voting district is by going to the Clark County registrar of voters website. From this site you can look up your own voter record as well as see if you are in the ward 6 boundaries.
Will there be other candidates on the ballot?
Other candidates are allowed to submit a petition of candidacy to the city clerk’s office up to 20 days before the election to be placed on the ballot. At this time there are no officially filed candidates.
How does a candidate get on the ballot?

2. The nominating petition must be filed, at least 20 days before the date of the special election, with the officer with whom the recall petition is filed.
