11 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR STATE OFFICES Article 15, Sec. 3 of the Nevada Constitution states that No person shall be eligible to any office who is not a qualified elector under this constitution. Qualified Elector is defined as follows: All citizens of the United States (not laboring under the disabilities named in this constitution) of the age of eighteen and upward, who shall have actually, and not constructively, resided in the state six months, and in the district or county 30 days next preceding any election, shall be entitled to vote for all officers that now or hereafter may be elected by the people, and upon all questions submitted to the electors at such election: provided that no person who has been or may be convicted of treason or felony in any state or territory of the United States, unless restored to civil rights, and no person who has been adjudicated mentally incompetent, unless restored to legal capacity, shall be entitled to the privilege of an elector. Nevada Constitution, Article 2, Sec. 1 Residency. After the United States Supreme Court issued its opinion in Dunn v. Blumstein, 405 U.S. 330 (1972), the Nevada Attorney General opined that the six month residency requirement in Article 2, Sec. 1 of the Nevada Constitution was preempted by the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. See Nevada Attorney General Opinion 85 (6/19/72). Thereafter, the Nevada Legislature enacted NRS That statute provides, in relevant part, that a person is a qualified elector upon residency in Nevada for at least 30 days prior to the election. Age. Some public offices have a minimum age requirement other than eighteen. For example, members of the Nevada Legislature must be at least 21 years old. NRS The Governor, Justices of the Nevada Supreme Court and District Judges must be at least 25 years old. Nevada Constitution, Article 5, Sec. 3; NRS 2.010; NRS Minimum age requirements are constitutional. See Mengelkamp v. List, 88 Nev. 542 (1972) (holding that NRS was constitutional). Term Limits. Term limits were proposed by initiative and were approved by Nevada voters at the general elections in 1994 and Nevada Constitution, Article 4, Sec. 3 (assembly); Article 4, Sec. 4 (senate); Article 5, Sec. 19 (constitutional offices); Article 15, Sec. 3 (public offices). There are no term limits for judges. See Nevada Judges Ass n v. Lau, 112 Nev. 51 (1996) (holding that the term limits ballot question should be presented to the voters as two questions one applicable to public officials and the second applicable to judges. The voters passed the former and rejected the latter). Term limits are not retroactive and apply only to periods of service commencing after November 27, See Nevada Attorney General Opinion (8/9/96). 10
