Proposes to amend the Nevada Constitution to enact various requirements relating to the distribution and submission of mail ballots. (BDR C-7)
This bill proposes amending the Nevada Constitution to require county clerks to mail ballots to all registered voters for elections, with specific timing: in-state voters receive ballots between the 5th and 4th Mondays before an election, and out-of-state voters between the 7th and 5th Mondays. Voters can opt out of receiving mail ballots by submitting written notice 60 days before an election. The bill also mandates that polling places accept mail ballots during in-person voting hours and requires counties to establish designated sites for returning mail ballots during the three days before elections (with minimum site counts based on county population). These changes directly affect all Nevada voters, county election administrators, and polling place operations.

MODERATE
This bill was reformatted from a draft version to its final enrolled version for the 36th Special Session of the Nevada Legislature. The substantive policy content remains unchanged, with no modifications to the actual provisions regarding mail ballot distribution, voting site requirements, or eligibility criteria. The changes are purely structural, including updated headers, page numbering, and formatting conventions.
TECHNICAL
Header formatting was updated to include 'Select' designation and 'Committee on Jobs and Economy' information in a new layout format.
Page numbering and session information was updated to reflect '36th Special Session (2025)' with proper page markers.
The Legislative Counsel's Digest section was repositioned and reformatted while maintaining identical content.
Summary and fiscal note sections were removed from the final enrolled version as these are typically not included in the final constitutional amendment text.
Line breaks and paragraph spacing were adjusted throughout the document to meet final printing standards.
