Incumbent Cisco Aguilar holds a commanding position in the November 3 Nevada Secretary of State race due to his uncontested Democratic primary win, over $1 million in campaign cash on hand, and a late-September poll showing him at 44% among likely voters against Republican Jim Marchant’s 37%. Marchant captured the GOP nomination in June after a tight primary but operates with minimal funding and a platform focused on voter re-registration and paper ballots only. Minor-party candidates Brad Barnhill and John Kennedy remain on the ballot yet register negligible support. These elements, combined with Aguilar’s 2022 rematch victory and institutional advantages as the sitting secretary of state, underpin trader consensus favoring the Democratic incumbent while assigning lower implied probability to Marchant.
