Left–right lean

Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).

Background

According to Resolution No. 26-20, the Clark County Charter Review Commission, whose 15 members voters elected in November 2025, voted on July 8, 2026 to send this amendment to the November 2026 ballot.

The amendment would add a new charter Section 6.7 barring anyone from being elected to more than three consecutive terms on the County Council. Service is consecutive unless separated by one full term out of office.

Under the proposed text, all consecutive service counts, including service before the amendment takes effect. Serving more than half of a term counts as a full term, and service in any council position counts.

The commission says the amendment is meant to balance the value of experience with periodic turnover and regular open-seat elections.

Put on the ballot by Clark County Charter Review Commission, July 8, 2026 (Resolution No. 26-20).
