Election rules
Primary election
The primary is held on the second Tuesday in June in even-numbered years.[1]
In the nonpartisan primary, the two candidates who receive the greatest number of votes advance to the general election. Though Nevada has a closed primary system, where voters may only vote for members of their own political party, this does not impact the judicial elections, which are nonpartisan. Voters registered with either major party, or those who are not registered with any political party, may still vote for all judicial candidates in the primaries.[2][3]
If there are only two candidates who file to run for any one seat, they skip the primary and compete only in the general election.[4]
Unopposed candidates
If only one candidate files for election to any one seat, he or she must still appear on the primary ballot. They then only need at least one vote in the primary to be elected to office without appearing on the general election ballot.
Only candidates in contested elections may accept campaign contributions; unopposed judicial candidates may not.[5]
