    2026 COUNTYWIDE BALLOT QUESTION (Part 1)

    The question I am proposing for the BALLOT is whether or not the Town of Pahrump should have an “Elected” Town Board beginning in January 2027 as a result of the November 2026 election. 

    If this piqued your interest, then you (and your family and friends) need to find and sign the Petitions that are currently being circulated in order to place this question on the Ballot so Pahrump voters can vote Yes or No to this question. 
                A YES vote in November would “create” an elected Pahrump Town Board in 2027. 
                A NO vote in November would leave everything “As Is” for the Town of Pahrump. 

    You’ve heard FALSE statements like, “It’s only an ADVISORY BOARD with no real authority. 
    Anyone who makes this statement has not read the NRS (Nevada Revised Statutes), or that person merely wants to mislead you.  It’s very easy to contact the “elected” Tonopah Town Board and ask them if they are merely an Advisory Board.  As an example, the Tonopah Town Board identified the room tax collection problem that cost Tonopah and Pahrump tens of thousands of dollars, because as an elected Town Board, they could focus on the Town’s finances. 

    If Pahrump had an “elected” Town Board, they too could focus on the needs of people and the Town of Pahrump. 

    The NRS gives the “elected” Town Board Limited Powers and Authority over Pahrump Fire and Rescue Service, Parks and Recreation Areas (including the Fairgrounds), Cemetery, Swimming Pool, and Financial Oversight of the Town of Pahrump, and Pahrump-owned Buildings and Grounds. 

    PLEASE REMEMBER: The 47,000 people of Pahrump deserve someone (a Town Government) whose ONLY job is looking out for Pahrump, not as a side project while managing an entire county. 

    So, if you believe that we need an “elected” Town Board, please sign the Petition, OR if you believe that we do NOT need an “elected” Town Board, please sign the Petition so you can vote and let your voice be HEARD.  Let the “PEOPLE of Pahrump” decide.  

    For Information: Contact the Pahrump Town Board Committee.
