Democrats pass resolution to enshrine universal mail-in ballots into constitution

State lawmakers for the second time in two days opted to advance their own priority issue during a special session called by the governor, passing a resolution to enshrine universal mail-in ballots in the Nevada State Constitution.

Senate Joint Resolution 1 was introduced in the 11th hour of the 36th Special Session, which ended Wednesday on day seven.

As a resolution, it is not subject to a gubernatorial veto. It is also not subject to the state law requiring the Legislature to only consider topics included in the governor’s proclamation.

Proposed constitutional amendments initiated by state lawmakers must pass (as resolutions) in two consecutive legislative sessions. SJR1’s passage during a special session effectively shortens that timeline.
