AB 262 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to elections. (BDR 24-362)

AB 262 allows election board officers, counting board officers, and high school student trainees to choose to work as volunteers without pay for election duties. The bill amends Nevada law to let county and city clerks appoint qualified high school students (16+, U.S. citizens, Nevada residents, enrolled in school) as trainees, with the option to volunteer after meeting school approval and training requirements. It also extends this volunteer choice to officers in special elections for Las Vegas City and the Airport Authorities in Battle Mountain and Carson City. The law does not change existing appointment rules but adds a new option for workers to forgo compensation.
