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 where a voter must be affiliated with a party to vote in that party's primary. A voter may be able to affiliate or change their affiliation on the day of the primary.[1][2][3]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Nevada in 2022. Information below was calculated on April 6, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
In 2022, 38 candidates filed to run in Nevada’s four U.S. House districts, including 21 Republicans, 12 Democrats, and five independent or third party candidates. That’s 9.5 candidates per district, less than the 10.0 candidates per district in 2020 and 10.5 candidates per district in 2018.
This was the first candidate filing deadline under new district lines following Nevada's decennial redistricting process. Nevada was apportioned four congressional districts, the same number it had after the 2010 census. Since Democrats and Republicans filed to run in every district, none were guaranteed to one party or the other at the time of the filing deadline.
All four incumbents filed for re-election and, of that total, three drew primary challengers leaving Rep. Steven Horsford (D) as the only incumbent uncontested in a primary. In Nevada, uncontested primaries are canceled, meaning Horsford was guaranteed to advance to the general election.
With all four incumbents seeking re-election, this left no open districts. The last time Nevada had an open U.S. House district was in 2018 with two.
The 2nd district drew the most candidate filings with 14 candidates running. This included five Republicans, including incumbent Rep. Mark Amodei, seven Democrats, and two third party candidates.
