SB 422 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to voting. (BDR 24-954)

SB 422 modifies voter registration rules for in-person registration during early voting or on election day. It requires voters to present a current state driver’s license, state ID, tribal ID, or other acceptable ID as proof of identity and residency (with specific address requirements if the ID lacks current address). The bill also mandates extended DMV hours on weekends and outside standard hours in Clark and Washoe Counties (pop. 100,000+) during two key periods: the two weeks before mail-in registration deadlines and six days after elections, while eliminating appointment requirements for license/ID renewals during those times. These changes directly affect voters without standard ID who would need to cast provisional ballots and provide required ID within 24 hours after election day.

MODERATE
This bill updates Nevada's election laws to extend automatic voter registration deadlines and simplify proof of identity requirements for in-person voting. It also mandates that the Department of Motor Vehicles in large counties (100,000+ population) must operate on weekends and without appointment requirements during specific pre-election and post-election periods. These changes aim to increase voter access and reduce administrative barriers during critical voting windows.
Scope change
The bill applies to all Nevada elections but specifically targets counties with a population of 100,000 or more for the DMV operational changes.
TIMELINE

Extended the deadline for automatic voter registration data transmission from two weeks before the fifth Sunday before an election to two weeks before the eighteenth day before an election.

ELIGIBILITY

Clarified that a tribal identification card showing a current residential address serves as proof of residency for voters.

REQUIREMENT

Required the Department of Motor Vehicles in large counties to remain open on Saturdays and Sundays and prohibit appointment requirements during the two weeks before mail-in registration deadlines and six days after primary or general elections.

Updated the affidavit requirements for provisional ballots to allow voters without state-issued IDs to prove identity and residency by 5 p.m. on the Friday following election day.
