(AP) - Anyone wanting to register by mail or online to vote in Nevada's upcoming election needs to act quickly.

Mailed registrations must be postmarked by today. Online registrations, available to new voters in Clark County, must be submitted by midnight.

After that, people will have to register in person at their county clerk's or registrar's office by 9 p.m. Oct. 12.
