From the county's ballots-returned dashboard, which refreshes from the state voter file about every four hours on business days and leaves out voters registered as confidential, so it will not match the state's release to the ballot. Cities are mailing addresses. Party counts shown from this source are implied by the dashboard's percentages. The state's weekday release remains the official series and the only statewide one.

Against the last two elections
Douglas County at the same point before Election Day: the newest 2026 count against the prior-year release nearest the same number of days out. The party share is of all ballots returned; the last column is the Democratic minus Republican count among returned ballots, which is not a vote margin. The 2026 line is the county dashboard's count, with party counts implied by its percentages.

How to read this
A returned ballot is one the county has received and logged, not one that has been counted; nothing is tallied until after 7 p.m. on November 3. Party is the voter's registration, not how they voted. Unaffiliated voters are half of Douglas County's rolls and routinely the largest share of early returns, so the Democratic-minus-Republican figure says how the two parties' registrants are pacing each other, nothing more.
Mail ballots dominate the early days and in-person voting at the county's 23 centers grows through Election Day. Comparisons to 2024 and 2022 use the prior-year release nearest the same number of days before Election Day; 2024 was a presidential year, so its totals run higher than a midterm's at every point.
