| Candidate Filing Deadline | Primary Election | General Election |
|---|---|---|
Primary: A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Nevada has a closed primary system, in which the selection of a party's candidates in an election is limited to registered party members.[7][8]
Incumbent: Heading into the election the incumbent was Dina Titus (D), who was first elected in 2012. She previously represented Nevada's 3rd Congressional District from 2009 to 2011.
Nevada's 1st Congressional District is located in the southern portion of the state and includes parts of Clark County.[9]
