Every seat in the delegation below, in district order. A colored band across the top of a cell means a rater has made a claim about that race. A cell with no band is a settled seat, tinted by its 2024 presidential margin, which is a measured past result and not a 2026 forecast.
Nevada's House races are being re-verified and are not shown yet.

How a cell is encoded, and on what evidence
Assumption, with reason What we infer, and why it is not yet a fact.
- Not on the 2026 ballot, per our inventory
Ratings drawn from Cook Political Report and Sabato’s Crystal Ball , added October 18, 2026. For the most current Cook Political Report ratings and analysis, see cookpolitical.com. Settled seats are tinted by their 2024 presidential-vote baseline, sourced from The Downballot, and carry no band, because a baseline is a measured past result and never a rating.

In play: 1 Toss-Up.
Lean against the nation
No statewide 2024 baseline is on record for Nevada, because neither a Senate nor a governor race here carries one yet.
House delegation, projected
This state has no House seats in the tracked inventory.

Nevada: five economic indicators, county by county
Pick an indicator to shade the map. Each indicator gets its own gold ramp, scaled to this state's counties, with stronger gold for a higher value. A hatched county has no reading available yet; it is never estimated.

One gold ramp; stronger gold means a higher value. Classes are quintiles of the 17 counties with a value in Nevada. The ramp is not a party colour and does not mean better or worse.

Per-capita personal income · BEA CAINC1, 2024
- Not yet available (17 of 17)
No county in Nevada has a reading for this indicator yet, so there is no ramp to show. The ramp, once it has data, is one gold hue: not a party colour, and not a verdict of better or worse.
Nevada has 17 counties. 17 have at least one indicator available; a county with no value for an indicator is hatched and marked "Not yet available", never estimated.

What the delegation says
What Nevada is worth
Nevada's stake in House control
0of 20No Nevada House race is rated Toss-Up or Lean this cycle. 20 seats elsewhere carry that rating; Nevada's House delegation is settled ground.
Competitive = rated Toss-Up or Lean by the crediting rater · as of October 18, 2026
U.S. Senate in Nevada
Every rater we carry, with its own date. Candidates, incumbent, poll and forecast sit under each rating.
No Senate race is in Thin Gold's tracked inventory for Nevada this cycle.
This is an assumption, not a statutory fact: our inventory not carrying a race may mean no seat is up in Nevada, or it may mean our own coverage has a gap, and we cannot currently tell those two apart.
Governor of Nevada
Ratings, candidates and incumbent where we hold them; every gap is marked with its reason.
