Moving Spring And Odd Year Elections

Somebody besides me is paying attention:
Nevada Democrats advance a bundle of bills to expand voting rights and increase voter turnout


Separately, the Assembly approved a bill sponsored by Republican Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske that would require local elections be held on dates that coincide with federal and state elections instead of in the spring or in odd-numbered years. Assembly members also passed a bill to require a general election take place for local offices even if a candidate wins a majority in the primary. Together, these two bills would mean local elections would get decided in November of even-numbered years, which would boost participation considerably in some locales.

emphasis mine

Just sayin’…

h/t to another regular reader for bringing this to my attention.
