Existing law authorizes an Indian tribe to submit a request for the establishment within the boundaries of an Indian reservation or Indian colony of: (1) a polling place, a ballot drop box, or both, for the day of a primary election, presidential preference primary election or general election; and (2) a temporary branch polling place for early voting. A county clerk or city clerk is not required to establish a polling place or ballot drop box if the county or city clerk establishes a temporary branch polling place for early voting. (NRS 293.2733, 293.3572, 293C.2675, 293C.3572) Sections 1 and 3 of this bill require a county clerk and city clerk, respectively, to establish a polling place and ballot drop box within the boundaries of an Indian reservation or Indian colony unless an Indian tribe: (1) elects not to have the polling place and ballot drop box established by submitting notice to the county clerk or city clerk; or (2) does not provide certain information relating to the establishment of the polling place and ballot drop box. Sections 2 and 4 of this bill require a county clerk and city clerk, respectively, to also establish a temporary branch polling place for early voting and ballot drop box within the boundaries of an Indian reservation or Indian colony unless an Indian tribe: (1) elects not to have the temporary branch polling place and ballot drop box established by submitting notice to the county clerk or city clerk; or (2) does not provide certain information relating to the establishment of the temporary branch polling place and ballot drop box. Sections 1 and 2 also authorize a county clerk to establish additional polling places, ballot drop boxes and temporary branch polling places within the boundaries of an Indian reservation or Indian colony upon the request of an Indian tribe. Sections 1-4 set forth the dates by which an Indian tribe must submit a request to elect not to have a polling place, ballot drop box and temporary branch polling place established.
