2026 is a big year for Nevada politics and elections
RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - Truckee Meadows Community College Political Science Professor Fred Lokken says Nevada is known to have voters who participate only marginally when they arrive at the ballot box.
“We have always been one of the states that is high in just coming in to vote for one or two issues,” says Professor Lokken. “But we have a number of issues there. I think that means the average voter will vote for either eight or ten items.”
Lokken believes that motivation will cascade down to Nevada from national events or politics.
He says the economy and immigration policies are having, and will continue to have, an impact on Nevadans.
