The question, as printed on the ballot

Concerning a Limitation on Consecutive Terms for County Council Members The Clark County Charter Review Commission adopted Resolution No. 26-20 proposing an amendment to the Clark County Home Rule Charter, concerning a limitation on consecutive terms for County Council members. If approved, this amendment would limit the number of consecutive terms a County Council member could sit to three terms, with eligibility restored after one full term out of office. Should this amendment be:

A “Yes” vote means

Council members would be limited to three consecutive terms, with eligibility restored after one full term out of office.

A “No” vote means

The charter would not limit how many consecutive terms a council member may serve.

Official plain English statement

The Clark County Charter Review Commission proposes adding a new charter section limiting County Council members to three consecutive terms, with eligibility restored after one full term out of office. All consecutive service, including prior service, counts toward the limit, and serving more than half a term is treated as a full term.
