The other is the Nevada County guide, which includes information about candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives, state Senate, state Assembly and county assessor, auditor-controller, Board of Supervisors (districts 3 and 4), clerk-recorder/registrar of voters, superintendent of schools, treasurer-tax collector, City of Nevada City Council and Placer County superintendent of schools. It also includes information about three local ballot measures – Measures H (Nevada City School District bond), Measure J (Union Hill School District bond) and Measure K (Town of Truckee road tax renewal).

The Nevada County Elections Office is excited to announce an enhancement to its guide. Beginning with this election, the guide will feature the same official color water tint on the front cover as is on the top of the official ballot. The official color of this election is purple. This is part of Registrar of Voters Armando Salud-Ambriz’s commitment to ensuring voters can participate in the process with clarity, confidence and trust
