Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

1. The Secretary of State shall by regulation specify:

(a) The format for the signatures on a petition for an initiative or referendum and make free specimens of the format available upon request. The regulations must ensure that the format includes, without limitation, that:

(1) In addition to signing the petition, a person who signs a petition:

(I) Shall print the person's given name followed by the person's surname on the petition before the person's signature; and

(II) Must indicate the petition district in which the person resides, if known.

(2) Each signature must be dated.

(b) The manner of fastening together several sheets circulated by one person to constitute a single document.

2. The registered voter may consult the list of the registered voters in this State posted on the website maintained by the Secretary of State pursuant to subsection 1 of NRS 293.4687 to determine the petition district in which the registered voter resides. The registered voter may rely on the information contained in the list when the registered voter indicates the appropriate petition district, unless the registered voter believes that the information is inaccurate.

3. Each document of the petition must bear the name of a petition district, and only registered voters of that petition district may sign the document.

4. A person who signs a petition may request that the county clerk remove the person's name from the petition by transmitting a request in writing to the county clerk at any time before the petition is filed with the county clerk.
