Nevada Reaches Bipartisan Deal on Election Reform

Nevada lawmakers have reached a rare bipartisan agreement on voting reforms, combining Republican-backed voter ID requirements with Democratic-supported expansion of ballot drop boxes in a newly passed bill that awaits the governor’s signature.

The compromise comes in the form of Assembly Bill 499, which passed the Nevada Senate on June 2 with a 16–5 vote and now heads to Gov. Joe Lombardo’s desk to be signed into law.
