Nevada Secretary Of State Seeks Ballot Harvesting Oversight

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Nevada's top election official has requested an emergency regulation adding more oversight to the state's newly passed law allowing ballot harvesting.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske sent a request to Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak seeking the regulation that would add rules to the collection of ballots by people who are not related to other voters.

The process was legalized to help conduct general election voting amid the coronavirus pandemic. The regulation sought by the Republican secretary would require reporting of political, corporate or advocacy group associations by those who collect 10 or more ballots.
