Nevada County

Danielle Ford, a former Clark County School District trustee, is seeking elected office in Nevada with a campaign centered on education, saying she wants to be 'the education governor'. The bid puts school funding, teacher shortages and classroom conditions at the heart of her platform, and is drawing attention in a state where public education has been a persistent political battleground.

Nevada County Elections officials are expanding the number of ballot drop box locations available to voters for the 2026 General Election. The move aims to make it easier for residents across the county to return mail ballots securely. Details on the new sites and rollout have drawn local interest as election preparations begin.
