AB 306 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to elections. (BDR 24-569)

AB 306 requires county clerks in Nevada to establish designated mail ballot drop box locations during a specific period before general elections. It directly affects voters in counties with populations over 100,000: Clark County (700,000+ people) must provide 10 locations open 7+ hours daily, Washoe County (100,000-700,000) must provide 5 locations, and smaller counties may set their own locations and hours. The bill ensures ballots dropped in these designated boxes during the specified period count as valid votes for the general election. It modifies existing election procedures to standardize mail ballot drop-off access in larger counties while allowing flexibility for smaller jurisdictions.

This bill updates the official text of AB 306 to reflect its final 'As Enrolled' version, removing the 'Reprint' header and adding the official Chapter number and session details. The core legislative content regarding mail ballot drop box requirements remains substantively identical to the previous version, maintaining the mandate for large counties to establish specific numbers of drop boxes and the requirement for monitoring and security.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; the text now includes the final chapter number and session information required for official state statutes.
TECHNICAL

Removed the 'Reprint' header and the list of Assembly members and joint sponsors from the top of the document.

Added the official 'Chapter' placeholder and '83rd Session (2025)' session identifier to the header.

Reformatted the Legislative Counsel's Digest and Act text to align with the final enrolled format, removing line numbers and internal markup indicators used in the draft version.
