NPVIC Status - Nevada
WHOA! - Nevada!Oppose the 2025-2026 Legislature's attempt at passing the NPV Amendment! The 2023-2024 Legislature passed along strict Democrat v Republican Party lines a proposal to put the National Popular Vote scheme right itno Nevada's Constitution!! It requires a subsequent Legislature - seated in 2025 or later - to ALSO pass the same proposal. Upon this second passage, then the issue is placed before State voters in an upcoming General Election, generally in November. NPV lobbyists are doing this in Nevada to avoid an all-but certain veto by Republican Governor Joe Lombardo. In yet another classic example of what the NPV's very highly-paid Sales team calls "bipartisanship behind the NPV" scheme, 27 Democrats and no one else have introduced a resolution in the Nevada Legislature on 3-23-23 to make the NPV Compact a part of Nevada's State Constitution! Click here for the details of the Nevada version NPV bill passed by the legislature in May 2023 Tell you lawmakers to do all they can to STOP the National Popular Vote scheme!! In 2019, Democrat Stave Sisolak, much to his credit, actually VETOED the NPV legislation that Democrat lawmakers placed on his desk! 
Opinion: 'Want Nuclear Waste in Nevada? Join the NPV' - Sean Parnell, Save Our StatesFrom the Reno Gazette Journal, May 17, 2023 - Before sidelining Nevada’s voice by joining the National Popular Vote scheme, it’s worth considering how the state benefits from the current system, in which presidential candidates come to Nevada, listen to its people and address issues Nevadans care about. Look no further than Yucca Mountain to understand how Nevada’s six electoral votes ensure that those seeking national office take Nevadans into account. Read more ... |

Click for details and to apply. State UpdatesMay 2023 - The Leftists pushing their Natitonal Poular Vote scheme in Nevada changed startegy here. With the election of Republican Governor Joe Lombardo, the NPV lobbyists are planning to bypass the Governor completely with a change to the State Constitution. In Nevada, to amend the Constitutuon requires that the proposed amendment be passed in one legislture, and then be passed by a second nevada Legislature (one that is seated for another 2-yer term). If two separate Nevada Legislatures pass the proposal, then the issue is placed before voters in a November general election. If voters agree and approve, then the proposal is made part of Nevaa's Constitution. March 23, 2023 - Twenty-seven (27) Democrats have sponsored a resolution to amend the State Constitution to make Nevada a part of the dangerous National Popular Vote scheme! It is AJR-6. February 2021 - There have been no bills introduced, as of early February, in the Nevada Legislature to have the State join the National Popular Vote Interstate scheme. Governor Steve Sisolak's VETO in 2019 and his very compelling Veto Statement have discouraged the Democrat Legislature from being very bold to back the dangerous NPVIC. We expect a big push by NPVIC in the new Legislature in January 2021. The Associated Press reports that the paid consultant staff of NPV is targeting certain States in 2021 and 2022. Critics of Electoral College Target States, Push for Popular Vote Compact The Nevada Legislature struggled with the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact in early 2019, but the Democrat majority in both Chambers had the votes to push the Bill through. HOWEVER, Democrat Governor Steve Sisolak, thinking of his State first over Party, wisely VETOED the proposed Compact. In his Veto Statement, Sisolak said correctly that, "The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact will diminish the role of smaller States, like Nevada, in national electoral contests." Because of the courageous and correct action of Governor Sisolak, in maintaining his State's Rights to participate in electing the President, we believe that Nevada is at a Low Risk for joining this dangerous compact.

Governor Steve Sisolak's Veto Statement, 5-30-2019
“Once effective, the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact could diminish the role of smaller states like Nevada in national electoral contests and force Nevada’s electors to side with whoever wins the nationwide popular vote, rather than the candidate Nevadans choose.
“I recognize that many of my fellow Nevadans may disagree on this point and I appreciate the legislature’s thoughtful consideration of this important issue. As Nevada’s governor, I am obligated to make such decisions according to my own conscience.
"In cases like this, where Nevada’s interests could diverge from the interests of large states, I will always stand up for Nevada.”
