Nevada Civics: How Your State Government Works
by bam
A practical, non-partisan guide to how the state of Nevada governs itself, and how you take part where you live. Nevada is the ONLY state that lets you vote for 'None of These Candidates' on its statewide ballots, a real protest option found nowhere else. You'll also learn how gaming (casino) regulation and revenue let Nevada run with NO state income tax; Nevada's Constitution of 1864 ('Battle Born'); its plural executive; its Legislature of 21 senators and 42 Assembly members that meets only every other year; its two-election rule for citizen constitutional amendments; its elected judiciary; and its 16 counties plus Carson City. Time-sensitive facts are flagged, pointing to nvsos.gov. Cited to Nevada's own official sources (leg.state.nv.us, nvsos.gov, nvcourts.gov).
