Process to become a candidate
See statutes:Title 24, Chapter 293 of the Nevada Revised Statutes
A candidate inNevada may access the ballot in one of three ways: as a major party candidate, as a minor party candidate, or as an independent candidate. Write-in candidates are not permitted in this state. Voters can only cast a vote for candidates whose names appear on the ballot.[4]
Major party candidates
Amajor party candidate must have been affiliated with his or her party by December 31 of the year preceding the election. If a candidate changes his or her affiliation after that date, he or she can no longer run as a major party candidate.[5]
Major party candidates are nominated via primary election. There are two ways in which a major party candidate may be placed on the primary election ballot:[6]
- by filing a declaration of candidacy and paying the filing fee during the candidate filing period, which begins on the first Monday in March and ends on the second Friday in March following that Monday; the declaration must include the following:[7]
- the residential address of the candidate, which must be in the appropriate district of the state corresponding to the office being sought
- a copy of a government-issued photo ID, a current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, or document issued by a government entity in order to prove the residence address listed on the declaration
- the candidate's Social Security number, license number, or state identification number
- by having 10 or more registered voters file a certificate of candidacy on behalf of any registered voter they wish to nominate as a candidate for their major party; this must be done no earlier than the first Monday in February and no later than the first Monday in March preceding the primary election (if nominated in this way, the candidate must file an acceptance of candidacy with the required filing fee during the candidate filing period)[7][8]
The filing fees mentioned above vary according to the office being sought and can be paid by cash, cashier's check, or certified check. Personal checks, campaign checks, and credit cards are not acceptable forms of payment. The filing fees are detailed in the table below.[9][10][11]
| Filing fees | |
|---|---|
| Office sought | Filing fee |
| United States Senator | $500 |
| United States Representative andGovernor of Nevada | $300 |
| Nevada state executive offices other than governor | $200 |
| Nevada Senator andNevada Assemblyman | $100 |
If the candidate is seeking office in theUnited States House of Representatives orNevada State Legislature in a district within a single county, he or she must file with the county clerk of that county. Candidates for all other offices must file with theNevada Secretary of State.[12]
Minor party candidates
Minor parties must file a list of candidates with theNevada Secretary of State before any minor party candidates can file individually. This list must be signed in the presence of a notary public by the party officer named to do so on the minor party's certificate of existence. The list must be filed during the candidate filing period, which starts on the first Monday in March and ends on the second Friday in March following that Monday.[13][14]
Once the candidate list has been submitted to theNevada Secretary of State, a minor party candidate can file his or her declaration of candidacy and pay the required filing fee (detailed above). These must be filed during the candidate filing period. If the candidate is seeking office in theUnited States House of Representatives orNevada State Legislature in a district within a single county, he or she must file with the county clerk of that county. Candidates for all other offices must file with theNevada Secretary of State.[12][13][14]
Minor party candidates are not permitted to participate in the primary election. Minor parties nominate their candidates to be placed on the general election ballot and may field only one candidate for each office appearing on the ballot.[15]
Independent candidates
Independent candidates may run only in the general election. Independent candidates must petition to be placed on the ballot. This may be done in one of two ways:[16][17]
- by submitting a petition containing signatures of registered voters equal in number to at least 1 percent of the total votes cast at the last general election for the same office the candidate seeks
- by submitting a petition containing 250 signatures of registered voters if the candidate seeks statewide office, or containing 100 registered voters' signatures if the candidate seeks any other office
Before circulating a petition, a candidate must file a copy of the petition with theNevada Secretary of State after January 2 of the year of the election. The petition may be circulated as soon as the copy has been filed. The completed petition must then be filed with the counties where the petition was circulated in order to be verified. In order to have the petitions verified in time to file them during the candidate filing period, which starts on the first Monday in March and ends on the third Friday in June preceding the general election, the petitions must be submitted to the counties 10 business days before the last day of the candidate filing period. A verified petition may then be filed with the declaration of candidacy and filing fee with theNevada Secretary of State unless the candidate is seeking office in a district existing entirely within one county. Such candidates file all documents and fees with the county clerk of the appropriate county.[16][17][18][19][12]
Qualifications
To be eligible to serve in theNevada State Assembly, a candidate must be:[20]
- 21 years old at the time of the election
- A citizen resident of the State of Nevada for one year preceding this election
- A resident of the district for a period of 30 days next preceding closing date for filing as a candidate

Trifectas
Astate government trifecta is a term that describes single-party government, when one political party holds the governor's office and has majorities in both chambers of the legislature in a state government. Republicans in Nevada held astate government trifecta for two years between 1992 and 2017. During the same period of time, Democrats held a trifecta for one year.

Impact of term limits
TheNevada State Assembly has been a term-limited state house since Nevada voters approvedQuestion 9A in 1996. Question 9A was a second vote on aterm limits amendment first approved in 1994. Alone among the states withballot initiatives, Nevada voters must approve a proposed constitutional amendment twice before it goes into theNevada Constitution. The 1994 and 1996 votes cumulatively led toParagraph 2 of Section 3 of Article 4 of theNevada Constitution, which says, "No person may be elected or appointed as a member of the Assembly who has served in that Office, or at the expiration of his current term if he is so serving will have served, 12 years or more, from any district of this State."
All 42 seats in theNevada State Assembly were up for election in 2018. In the 2018 elections, one representative was ineligible to run because of term limits. The following state representative was term limited in 2018:
Democratic: (1)
Republicans (0):
- No Republican representatives were term limited in 2018.
Of the 87 state legislative chambers that held elections in 2018, 24 of them—12 senate chambers and 12 house chambers—included incumbents who were unable to run for re-election due toterm limits.[23] In the 24 chambers affected by term limits in 2018, 1,463 seats were up for election.[24] The Nevada Senate, Arkansas House, and Arkansas Senate are impacted by term limits, but no incumbents were term-limited in 2018. There are 99 chambers throughout the country.
A total of 271 state legislators—96 state senators and 175 state representatives—were ineligible to run in the 2018 elections because of term limits. This represented 4 percent of the 6,066 total seats up for election in November 2018.[25][26] Republicans had twice as many state legislators term-limited in 2018 than Democrats. A total of 86 Democrats were term-limited, while 177 Republicans were term-limited.
Nevada ballot measures
- See also:Nevada 2018 ballot measures
Nevada's process forlegislatively referred constitutional amendments was designed to allow legislative elections to determine the fate of proposed constitutional amendments approved in the previous session. The 2017 Democrat-controlledNevada State Legislature approved seven proposed constitutional amendments, including several that passed along partisan lines.These amendments needed approval again in 2019 to reach the2020 ballot. This means that the fates of multiplelegislatively referred constitutional amendments—includinga minimum wage increase,an amendment making emergency medical care a right,an amendment recognizing marriage regardless of gender, andan amendment concerning property taxes—were determined at the 2018state Assembly andstate Senate elections. If Republicans regained control of at least one of the chambers of the Nevada Legislature, they could have either abandoned or rejected amendments approved by Democrats in 2017, thereby preventing them from going on the ballot. This scenario—but with parties switched—played out in the previous cycle; in 2015, Republicans approvedtwo amendments that were abandoned by Democrats in 2017 following the shift to Democratic control of the legislature at the2016 election. Democrats, however, retained control of both chambers of the legislature at the 2018 election.
TheNevada State Legislature can putproposed constitutional amendments on the ballot for voter ratification through a majority vote in both theNevada State Senate and theNevada State Assembly in two legislative sessions. The Nevada Legislature holds regular sessions in odd-numbered years, and elections for legislators are held in even-numbered years. In even-numbered years, all members of the state Assembly are up for election—since assembly members have two-year terms—and half of the members of the state Senate are up for election—since state senators have staggered four-year terms. Thus, the ability of state lawmakers to put a constitutional amendment before voters depends on supporters of the constitutional amendment retaining control of both chambers of the legislature through an election cycle. This means that partisan shifts in the Nevada Legislature often result in the failure of proposed constitutional amendments that are partisan in nature. Moreover, the shift in priorities that comes along with a shift in partisan control can result in a proposed amendment being abandoned even if it had some bipartisan support. Since the minimum time it takes to amend the state constitution through alegislatively referred constitutional amendment is four years, getting a partisan policy added to the constitution is a significant victory.
2016 election and 2018 amendments
At the2016 election, the majority control of both chambers of the Nevada Legislature shifted from Republicans to Democrats, moving Nevada from one of 23 Republicanstate government trifectas to one of 18 states under divided government.[27] Because of this change in partisan control, two constitutional amendments that were approved in the 2015 legislative session did not receive a vote in the 2017 session and were not put on the 2018 ballot.One of these proposals was a right to hunt and fish amendment andthe other was an amendment to require atwo-thirds (66.67%) vote at the ballot to approve any measure that increased state revenue. One referral—a crime victims bill of rights known asMarsy's Law—was approved by both the 2015 Legislature and by the 2017 Legislature, certifying it for the 2018 ballot.
The followinglegislatively referred constitutional amendments were approved by the 2015 Legislature and needed approval again in 2017:

| Crime Victims Rights | 15-6 | 41-1 | | 21-0 | 41-0 | | Approved |
2018 election and 2020 amendments
The scenario that happened in 2015, 2016, and 2017 could have played out again in 2017, 2018, and 2019 but with parties switched. However, Democrats retained control of the legislature at the 2018 election. Out of the sevenlegislatively referred constitutional amendments approved by the state Legislature in 2017, three were approved along party lines. Another, the amendment to require marriage to be recognized regardless of gender, was initially approved along party lines, but it received more bipartisan support following changes designed to give religious organizations and clergy the right to refuse to solemnize a marriage. All of these amendments require majority approval in both chambers of the Legislature in 2019 to reach the 2020 ballot.

Wave election analysis
- See also:Wave elections (1918-2016)
The termwave election is frequently used to describe an election cycle in which one party makessignificant electoral gains. How many seats would Republicans have had to lose for the 2018 midterm election to be considered a wave election?
Ballotpedia examined the results of the 50 election cycles that occurred between 1918 and 2016—spanning from PresidentWoodrow Wilson's (D) second midterm in 1918 toDonald Trump's (R) first presidential election in 2016.We define wave elections as the 20 percent of elections in that period resulting in the greatest seat swings against the president's party.
Applying this definition tostate legislative elections, we found that Republicans needed to lose494 seats for 2018 to qualify as awave election.

Competitiveness
Every year, Ballotpedia uses official candidate lists from each state to examine the competitiveness of every state legislative race in the country. Nationally, there has been a steady decline in electoral competitiveness since 2010. Most notable is that the number of districts with general election competition has dropped by more than 10 percent.

Historical context
Uncontested elections: In 2014, 32.8 percent of Americans lived in states with an uncontested state senate election. Similarly, 40.4 percent of Americans lived in states with uncontested house elections. Primary elections were uncontested even more frequently, with 61 percent of people living in states with no contested primaries. Uncontested elections often occur in locations that are so politically one-sided that the result of an election would be a foregone conclusion regardless of whether it was contested or not.
Open seats: In most cases, an incumbent will run for re-election, which decreases the number of open seats available. In 2014, 83 percent of the 6,057 seats up for election saw the incumbent running for re-election. The states that impose term limits on their legislatures typically see a higher percentage of open seats in a given year because a portion of incumbents in each election are forced to leave office. Overall, the number of open seats decreased from 2012 to 2014, dropping from 21.2 percent in 2012 to 17.0 percent in 2014.
Incumbent win rates: Ballotpedia'scompetitiveness analysis of elections between 1972 and 2014 documented the high propensity for incumbents to win re-election in state legislative elections. In fact, since 1972, the win rate for incumbents had not dropped below 90 percent—with the exception of 1974, when 88 percent of incumbents were re-elected to their seats. Perhaps most importantly, the win rate for incumbents generally increased over time. In 2014, 96.5 percent of incumbents were able to retain their seats. Common convention holds that incumbents are able to leverage their office to maintain their seat. However, the high incumbent win rate may actually be a result of incumbents being more likely to hold seats in districts that are considered safe for their party.
Marginal primaries: Often, competitiveness is measured by examining the rate of elections that have been won by amounts that are considered marginal (5 percent or less). During the 2014 election, 90.1 percent of primary and general election races were won by margins higher than 5 percent. Interestingly, it is usually the case that only one of the two races—primary or general—will be competitive at a time. This means that if a district's general election is competitive, typically one or more of the district's primaries were won by more than 5 percent. The reverse is also true: If a district sees a competitive primary, it is unlikely that the general election for that district will be won by less than 5 percent. Primaries often see very low voter turnout in comparison to general elections. In 2014, there were only 27 million voters for state legislative primaries, but approximately 107 million voters for the state legislative general elections.
Pivot Counties

There are no Pivot Counties in Nevada. Pivot Counties are counties that voted forBarack Obama (D) in 2008 and 2012 and forDonald Trump (R) in 2016. Altogether, the nation had 206 Pivot Counties, with most being concentrated in upper midwestern and northeastern states.
In the 2016 presidential election,Hillary Clinton (D) won Nevada with 47.9 percent of the vote.Donald Trump (R) received 45.5 percent. In presidential elections between 1868 and 2016, Nevada voted Republican 51 percent of the time and Democratic 46 percent of the time. In the five presidential elections between 2000 and 2016, Nevada voted Democratic three times and Republican the other two.[31]
