Revises provisions governing elections. (BDR 24-821)
AB 246-82 requires Nevada election officials to improve language access for voters with limited English proficiency. It mandates the Secretary of State and local clerks to post voting materials online in languages spoken by significant minority groups (based on annual data reviews), include a toll-free translation hotline at polling places and on sample ballots, and add language preference options to voter registration forms. The bill also requires county clerks to make "good faith efforts" to appoint bilingual election staff and ensures mechanical voting systems display ballot information in a voter's preferred language when possible. These changes directly affect voters with limited English skills and election officials responsible for implementing language access. The law takes effect ahead of the 2024 General Election.
