SJR 1 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Urges Congress to enact legislation allowing certain eligible surviving spouses of veterans to receive an amount equal to the military retirement pay of the veteran after the veteran's death. (BDR R-55)

SJR 1 is a Nevada constitutional amendment requiring counties to send mail ballots to all active registered voters for elections. It mandates specific deadlines for sending ballots (based on voter residency), establishes minimum return sites for mail ballots during the three days before elections (with site numbers based on county population), and allows voters to opt out of receiving mail ballots by notifying county clerks 60 days in advance. The bill also requires mail ballots to include all voting materials and specifies how ballots must be delivered and returned securely. This directly affects Nevada voters, county clerks, and election administration procedures statewide.
