Question 4: enshrining voting rights in the Nevada state Constitution (video)

October 19, 2020 by Noticiero Movil

Formal name: State Constitutional Rights of Voters Amendment

Type of measure: Legislative resolution to amend the Nevada Constitution

Summary of what it does: If approved, it would add a list of 11 voting rights and privileges — known as the Voters’ Bill of Rights — to the state Constitution.

That list of rights was added to state law in 2002, following passage of the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) in 2002 that required states to post voter instructions, rights and information at polling places.

The list of provisions in the current “Voters’ Bill of Rights” — which under this ballot question would be added to the Constitution — includes the following:

  • Receive and cast a ballot that is written in a format that allows the clear identification of candidates and accurately records the voter’s selection of candidates

To see the complete list, continue reading the article at The Nevada Independent. This story was originally published on Sept. 21 and written by Riley Snyder.
