Ballot Measures
What are ballot measures?
It’s common to feel uncertain about statewide ballot initiatives in the voting booth or on our election ballots, but this can be where the rubber meets for the road in fighting climate change.
Voting on ballot measures, also known as “Questions” in Nevada, can be a critical way to protect the environment. These measures, known as a form of “direct democracy” put the public in the decision-making seat and gives voters direct access to the legislative process and the ability to influence public policy.
Citizens can propose, adopt, or reject laws, policies, and taxes through initiatives, referendums and recalls, giving more power to the people and fostering a more informed and involved electorate. Ballot propositions can be submitted by a state legislature, a local government, or by citizens, and are up to the voters to decide.
Why do they matter?
Ballot measures are critical to vote on because they’re an opportunity for your voice to directly impact an outcome for our environment and resources. For example, in 2020, Nevadans approved Question 6, Renewable Energy Standards Initiative, that amended the constitution to require electric utilities to have 50% of their electricity come from renewable resources by 2030, an important step forward for the energy transition.
This year, Nevada has seven ballot measures. Visit here to learn more about each question, so you can be prepared on election day!
Our Priorities: Reforming the Energy Planning Process in Nevada
The energy landscape is changing rapidly with significant increases in projected demand, more extreme weather events, and growing customer desire for cleaner power. Nevada’s energy planning process, however, is failing to keep pace with the changes.
Unfortunately, Nevada’s utility planning lacks order and transparency, leaving potential cost savings and clean energy sources on the table. The current energy planning process allows utilities to pre-select resources that aren’t necessarily in the best interest of Nevada families and businesses, or our clean energy future – leaving the best energy solutions on the table.
Nevadans deserve fair, transparent energy planning that protects their health and wallets while also meeting demand and expanding clean energy sources.
WRA is working to fix this through a process that explores the best, most cost-effective resources. Electricity powers our everyday lives. We depend on our electric utility company to provide cost-effective, low risk, and clean electricity to power our homes and businesses. A transparent process builds trust and ensures that energy resources are serving the needs of Nevada’s families and businesses.
