Nevada Ballot Initiatives 

The Sierra Club Toiyabe Chapter has NOT endorsed any of the 2020 ballot initiatives. However, you may find more information about them at the following Secretary of State web links:

  • Question No. 1: Board of Regents -- Trailing
  • Question No. 2: Same-Sex Marriage -- Victorious!
  • Question No. 3: Pardons Board -- Victorious!
  • Question No. 4: Voter Rights -- Victorious!
  • Question No. 6: Renewable Energy Promotion Initiative. -- Victorious!
    Sierra Club endorsed this ballot initiative in 2018, which won with 59% of the vote. Because it makes changes to Nevada's constitution, it must pass twice. However, following the mandate of the people in 2018, the 2019 Nevada Legislature passed SB 358, which enacted Nevada's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) to accomplish the same goals as Question 6. Your yes vote on this question in 2020 will be a pro-forma vote to satisfy the ballot initiative requirement and avoid unnecessary and awkward conversations about Nevada's RPS should the ballot initiative fail. 

*There is no Question No. 5 on the 2020 ballot
