Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Election officers can decline pay

Beginning July 1, 2025, election officers can choose to volunteer and receive no pay, or accept the pay set locally. Counties and cities still fix pay for voting and counting boards, deputy sheriffs, and other election staff by ordinance, resolution, or order. You must be eligible for that local pay to decline it. This rule also covers officers in Las Vegas special municipal elections and Carson City Airport Authority bond ballots.

High school election trainees: pay or volunteer

Beginning July 1, 2025, high-school pupils serving as election trainees in county and city elections can take pay or volunteer with no pay. Pay may match the rate for election officers. To serve, the pupil must be a U.S. citizen, a Nevada resident of the county or city, enrolled in high school, at least 16, and appointed without party affiliation. The clerk sends a certificate with the date and hours. The principal or assigned counselor must get that certificate and a parent or guardian’s excusal request at least 20 days before the election and approve it. The pupil must attend the required training. Trainees cannot be required to work past 10:00 p.m. or any local curfew.
