Boulder City Seeks Volunteers for Ballot Question Arguments | The Locally Times
Residents can apply until March 30 to write arguments for and against two ballot questions for the November 2026 municipal election.
Boulder City is offering residents a unique opportunity to influence local democracy, recruiting volunteers to write arguments for and against two upcoming ballot questions. ## Shaping the November 2026 Election Discourse The City Clerk's office is seeking volunteers to craft arguments for and against two ballot questions scheduled for the November 3, 2026 Municipal General Election. This initiative provides a pathway for residents to directly contribute to the information presented to voters regarding these local measures. The arguments written by these volunteers will appear in official election materials, informing the public on both sides of the issues. Applications for these volunteer positions are being accepted until March 30, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. The available records do not specify the nature or content of the two ballot questions that will appear on the ballot. ## Regional Election Preparations Underway The call for Boulder City volunteers aligns with broader regional preparations for upcoming elections across the area. The Nye County Clerk's office released its official Notice of Offices for the June 9, 2026 Primary Election, detailing a wide array of partisan and non-partisan offices appearing on that ballot. Partisan offices include federal and state positions such as U.S. Representative for District 4, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, State Controller, Attorney General, State Senate for District 17, and State Assembly for Districts 33, 36, and 38. Non-partisan positions encompass local judicial roles like Sheriff, Justice of the Supreme Court (Seats B & D), Fifth Judicial District Court Judge (Departments 1 & 2), and Pahrump Justice of the Peace (Dept B), alongside School Board Trustees, township boards, and improvement districts. Additionally, various county offices, including County Commissioner (Districts IV & V), Assessor, Clerk, District Attorney, Public Administrator, Recorder, and Treasurer, are listed. Judicial candidates filed between January 5 and 16, 2026, while non-judicial candidates filed between March 2 and 13, 2026, with respective withdrawal deadlines of January 28 and March 24, 2026. This comprehensive notice outlines the structured process for electoral participation in the region. ## Ongoing Civic Engagement and Public Information Access Beyond electoral participation, Boulder City residents engaged in other community-focused activities and public information initiatives in March 2026. The city hosted its annual "Big Clean" event on Saturday, March 28, 2026, from 9 a.m. until noon at the Bravo Field Parking Lot, located at 891 Ave B, Boulder City. This event provided residents with an opportunity to recycle, repurpose, and renew unneeded household items, promoting environmental stewardship and community involvement. In parallel, the Southern Nevada Water Authority, responsible for managing the region's water resources and treatment, provides annual water quality reports. These reports are a requirement under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and ensure that residents have access to detailed information about the quality of their drinking water. Boulder City is listed as a member agency whose water quality reports are available through this authority, demonstrating a commitment to public transparency on essential services. ## Key Questions **What is the deadline to apply for the volunteer positions?** Applications for volunteers to write ballot arguments are due by March 30, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. **Which election do these ballot questions pertain to?** The ballot questions are for the November 3, 2026 Municipal General Election.
