Incumbent Democrat Cisco Aguilar holds a strong position in the November 3, 2026, Nevada Secretary of State race, a rematch against Republican Jim Marchant. A late September poll of likely voters showed Aguilar ahead 44% to 37%, with 12% undecided, consistent with nonpartisan ratings classifying the contest as likely Democratic. Marchant won a fragmented June Republican primary but has raised minimal funds, lacks broad party backing, and faces scrutiny over past statements on election processes. Aguilar, running unopposed in the Democratic primary, benefits from incumbency, higher visibility on voter roll maintenance and business filings, and a larger campaign war chest. Minor-party candidates appear on the ballot but show little traction. Trader pricing reflects these structural and polling dynamics three weeks before Election Day.
