2018 Nevada gubernatorial election

Incumbent Republican governor Brian Sandoval was ineligible to run for re-election due to the absolute two-term limit established by the Nevada Constitution.

The candidate filing deadline was March 16, 2018 and the primary election was held on June 12, 2018.

Sisolak became the first Democrat to be elected Governor of Nevada since Bob Miller's successful re-election bid in 1994.

While Laxalt won 15 of Nevada's county-level jurisdictions (14 counties and the independent city of Carson City), Sisolak carried the two largest, Clark (home to Las Vegas) and Washoe (home to Reno).

Counties that flipped from Republican to Democratic Sisolak won 3 of 4 congressional districts.
