(Jessica Hill | Las Vegas Review-Journal) – Meet Lorena Portillo, the new face of the Clark County Elections Department who now leads Nevada’s most populous county into the 2024 presidential primary and general election.
The Board of Clark County Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to appoint Portillo as the new registrar of voters, filling the hole that former longtime registrar Joe Gloria left at the beginning of the year. …
Portillo, born and raised in Las Vegas, started working for the election department in 1998 as a part-time hourly employee in the administration division. …
Before leaving in late January to take on a role with the Election Center, Gloria recommended Portillo, his assistant registrar of voters, to replace him. He told the Review-Journal that Clark County citizens can rest assured that there is no better person to serve in the role. …
Portillo and the Clark County Election Department are overseeing the April 3 special Henderson City Council Ward 1 election. After that, the department will start preparations for a busy 2024 with the presidential preference primary in February, the regular primary in June and the 2024 general election in November.
