Art. 1, Sec. 3) Term Limits: No Residency Requirement: Individuals running for office must have been a citizen of the United States for nine years and, when elected, an inhabitant of that state in which he shall be chosen. (U.S. Const. Art. 1, Sec. 3) Age Requirement: 30 years of age (U.S. Const. Art. 1, Sec. 3) REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS Term of Office: Two-year term (U.S. Const. Art. 1, Sec. 2) Term Limits: No Residency Requirement: Individuals running for office must have been a citizen of the United States for seven years, and when elected, an inhabitant of that state in which he shall be chosen. (U.S. Const. Art.1, Sec. 2) Age Requirement: 25 years of age. (U.S. Const. Art. 1, Sec. 2) 9 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR STATE OFFICES Article 15, Sec. 3 of the Nevada Constitution states that “No person shall be eligible to any office who is not a qualified elector under this constitution.” “Qualified Elector” is defined as follows: All citizens of the United States (not laboring under the disabilities named in this constitution) of the age of eighteen and upward, who shall have actually, and not constructively, resided in the state six months, and in the district or county 30 days next preceding any election, shall be entitled to vote for all officers that now or hereafter may be elected by the people, and upon all questions submitted to the electors at such election: provided that no person who has been or may be convicted of treason or felony in any state or territory of the United States, unless restored to civil rights, and no person who has been adjudicated mentally incompetent, unless restored to legal capacity, shall be entitled to the privilege of an elector. Nevada Constitution, Article 2, Sec. 1 Residency. After the United States Supreme Court issued its opinion in Dunn v. Blumstein, 405 U.S. 330 (1972), the Nevada Attorney General opined that the six month residency requirement in Article 2, Sec. 1 of the Nevada Constitution was preempted by the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. See Nevada Attorney General Opinion 85 (6/19/72). Thereafter, the Nevada Legislature enacted NRS 293.485. That statute provides, in relevant part, that a person is a qualified elector upon residency in Nevada for at least 30 days prior to the election. Age. Some public offices have a minimum age requirement other than eighteen. For example, members of the Nevada Legislature must be at least 21 years old. NRS 218.010. The Governor, Justices of the Nevada Supreme Court and District Judges must be at least 25 years old. Nevada Constitution, Article 5, Sec. 3; NRS 2.010; NRS 3.060. Minimum age requirements are constitutional. See Mengelkamp v. List, 88 Nev. 542 (1972) (holding that NRS 218.010 was constitutional). Term Limits. Term limits were proposed by initiative and were approved by Nevada voters at the general elections in 1994 and 1996. Nevada Constitution, Article 4, Sec.

  • Libertarian Party of Nevada Hosted "Speed Dating" Events Over 2 Days at Different Venues in Las Vegas
    Endorsement Committee This year, we formed an Endorsement Committee comprised of 18 members plus additional Libertarian leadership; the “Committee.” The Committee members conducted their own independent research on each of the candidates and asked them questions at our events. The Committee members took notes and made recommendations on grades and endorsements. Endorsement Committee Chair: Jason Weinman Committee Members: Jason G Smith Jim Duensing Jason Nellis Lesley Chan John McCormack JD Smith Lou Pombo Brady Bowyer Scott Lafata Tim Hagan Brett H. Pojunis Brandon Ellyson Debra Dedmon Nick Klein Andrew Lea Ross Williams Tarina Dark Steve Brown Format - Why "Speed Dating?" The Libertarian Party of Nevada hosted "Speed Dating" events over 2 days at different venues in Las Vegas. The goal was to meet as many candidates as possible in a format similar to speed dating. LPNevada endorsed Candidates in non‐partisan races and graded Candidates in partisan races for the 2014 General Elections. Most organizations do not get one‐on‐one interaction with the candidates; we felt this is important. Endorsements and Grading Non‐Partisan candidates received either a positive (thumbs up) or negative (thumbs down) endorsement from the Committee. Partisan Candidates received a grade of 1 to 5 stars. Candidates who received 1 star were not very Libertarian and candidates who received 5 stars were very good in regards to their position on issues important to Libertarians. The Libertarian Party of Nevada has the following 15 Candidate on the 2014 Ballot.

Nguyen (argued), Senior Deputy Attorney General, Carson City, Nevada; for the defendant-appellee. OPINION PER CURIAM: Six media corporations (“Media Corporations”) filed a civil rights suit against the Nevada Secretary of State pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief allowing them to conduct exit polling in the November 2006 general election. Specifically, the Media Corporations argued that section 293.740 of the Nevada Revised Statutes imper- missibly restricted their free speech rights in violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments, respectively, by making it unlawful for any person to speak to a voter on the subject of marking his or her ballot within 100 feet of a polling place’s entrance.
