(NEVADA) On Thursday, Joe Gloria, Registrar of Voters for Clark County, said most of the county's mail-in ballots will be counted by this weekend.
"The bulk of our ballots we're hoping will be read by Saturday or Sunday this weekend," said Gloria.
He added that the processing of ballots will not be complete until Nov.12.
Nevada has yet to be called for the 2020 presidential election, which has six electoral votes up for grabs. More than 1 million ballots were cast by mail or in-person before Election Day, according to The Hill.
Gloria stated that the county will continue to take its time to ensure accuracy.
"I think it's important for the entire country to understand that mail ballots on this scale is very new to the state of Nevada," Gloria said. "We made a decision here to provide as much access as we possibly could as a result of the pandemic, and so our process has run a little bit slower."
As the nation anxiously awaits the results, Gloria said he's concerned for his staff's safety and assure that there are measures and security in place for everyone's safety.
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leads with 604,251 votes while Trump trails at 592,813 in Nevada, according to The Hill.
