Fact Sheet LEGISLATORS APPOINTED TO FILL VACANCIES IN THE NEVADA LEGISLATURE (1945–2016)
COMPILED BY AND UPDATED BY THE DECEMBER 2016 RESEARCH DIVISION LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL BUREAU Article 4, Section 12 of the Nevada Constitution states how a vacancy in the office of a State legislator is filled. Specifically, it provides, “In case of the death or resignation of any member of the legislature, either senator or assemblyman, the county commissioners of the county from which such member was elected shall appoint a person of the same political party as the party which elected such senator or assemblyman to fill such vacancy . . . .” These provisions do not apply if a regular election, at which county officers will be elected, takes place between the vacancy and the next session of the Legislature.
