AB 14 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to certain public officers. (BDR 20-453)

AB 14 requires that candidates for specific Nevada county offices - including county commissioners, clerks, recorders, sheriffs, treasurers, assessors, district attorneys, public administrators, and constables - must be registered to vote in Nevada. This requirement applies to new officeholders elected after July 1, 2025, but exempts current officeholders serving on that date. The bill amends multiple Nevada statutes (e.g., NRS 244.020, 246.010, 248.005) to add this voting registration standard as a qualification. The legislation passed the Nevada legislature in May 2025 and was signed into law by the governor.
