Latest audited results

Government-wide activity for Nevada's primary government on the accrual basis. Revenue is the ACFR's reported total of program and general revenue; contributions to permanent funds and internal transfers are excluded from the revenue total.

Government-wide revenue: $22.8B
Government-wide expenses: $21.0B

Method, scope, and limitations

FactVote used the Legislature's post-special-session FY2027 net statewide total and exact net functional categories, each of which removes interagency transfers. FY2024 tax-source shares aggregate tax lines across unrestricted and purpose-restricted general revenue in the government-wide ACFR. Audited revenue is the ACFR's reported total revenue, and current rate facts come from the Department of Taxation.

The $24.749 billion headline is net statewide appropriations and authorizations, including federal funds and balances carried forward; it is broader than General Fund appropriations alone.
Interagency transfers totaling $3.398 billion are removed from both the headline and functional categories to avoid double counting.
FY2024 is the latest ACFR currently published by the Nevada State Controller; audited activity is on the accrual basis and is not the same period or measure as FY2027 budget authority.
The tax-source chart combines unrestricted and restricted State tax lines. Locally collected property taxes outside the State reporting entity are excluded.
Sales-tax and property-tax rates vary by jurisdiction, taxable item, exemptions, assessed value, and applicable local rates.

Method and limitations

FactVote uses BLS Local Area Unemployment Statistics annual averages for the statewide unemployment rate and civilian employment. The chart converts employment to an index with 2015 equal to 100; the data table retains the published employment level.

LAUS estimates are revised each year through the program's annual processing cycle.
Employment is residence-based civilian employment, not a count of jobs located in the state.

Method and limitations

FactVote averages the four quarterly, not-seasonally-adjusted FHFA all-transactions HPI observations for each year. It compares that series with BEA annual per-capita personal income distributed by FRED, then rebases both to 100 in 2016.

This is a pressure indicator, not a home-price-to-income ratio and not a measure of monthly mortgage affordability.
Both series are nominal; neither is adjusted for inflation.
Per-capita personal income includes earnings, property income, and transfers and is not median household income.

Method and limitations

FactVote uses the Census Bureau's HIC-4_ACS historical table. Rates and 90% confidence margins of error are the published ACS 1-year estimates for the civilian noninstitutionalized population.

The Census Bureau did not release the standard 2020 ACS 1-year estimates because pandemic-era data collection did not meet its quality standards; the chart preserves that gap.
The rate is a survey estimate and the accompanying margin of error should be considered when comparing nearby values.
Coverage is measured at the interview and does not show how long someone was uninsured during the year.

FactVote uses NAEP Data Service mean scale scores for all public-school students in Nevada. The series uses the total student group and the main reading and mathematics composite scales for Grade 4 and Grade 8.

NAEP is generally administered every two years; the 2021 administration was postponed, so the timeline moves from 2019 to 2022.

How it was measured

FactVote uses EIA’s West Coast excluding California series, the smallest current EIA retail region that includes Nevada. Changes are calculated from the published August 24, 2026 (prior week), and September 1, 2025 (52 weeks earlier), observations.

Keep in mind

EIA does not publish a current Nevada statewide weekly gasoline-price series. This West Coast excluding California regional estimate should not be read as Nevada’s statewide average.
The regional average combines Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, and does not represent the price at every station or in every Nevada community.
Prices are nominal and not adjusted for inflation or seasonal patterns. Weekly estimates can be revised and can differ from monthly averages.
Price changes alone do not establish the effect of any bill, official, or government action.

Method and limitations

FactVote uses EIA's annual utility-scale net generation series and groups sources into seven categories. The residential price is EIA's annual average revenue per kilowatthour and includes generation, transmission, distribution, taxes, and fees reflected in electric bills.

Generation is electricity produced inside Nevada, not electricity consumed there; interstate imports and exports are not represented.
The consistent utility-scale series excludes estimated generation from small-scale solar systems under 1 megawatt. Hydroelectric combines conventional and pumped-storage net generation; the 'other' category is the residual of remaining reported energy sources.
The residential price is a statewide nominal average and can mask large differences among utilities, plans, and household usage.

Method and limitations

FactVote uses EIA’s monthly West Coast (PADD 5) Except California Regular All Formulations Retail Gasoline Prices series. Monthly averages are simple averages of the published weekly estimates; prices include taxes.

This regional series covers Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington; it is not a Nevada statewide average.
The regional average masks differences among states, communities, and individual stations.
Prices are nominal and not adjusted for inflation or seasonal patterns. The monthly series ends in August 2026 and can differ from the weekly fact.
Price changes alone do not establish the effect of any bill, official, or government action.

The total combines firearm deaths across intents, including suicide, homicide, legal intervention, and unintentional or undetermined injury.
It does not measure nonfatal injuries, firearm ownership, defensive uses, or policy effects.

Method and limitations

FactVote uses the Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 consistent state series. Population is the July 1 estimate. Change components describe the preceding annual estimates period, and the Census residual adjustment reconciles the components to the published population change.

Vintage estimates are revised as the Census Bureau incorporates newer records and methods.
Domestic and international migration are modeled demographic estimates, not direct counts of every move.
The small residual adjustment is included in the data table but not drawn as a separate bar.

Nevada's primary is closed for major-party contests, although nonpartisan contests can appear on other voters' ballots; the denominator includes all registered voters reported for the election.

Nevada Secretary of State: 2026 Primary Election Results — Voter Turnout Review by January 31, 2028

How it was measured

FactVote divides 1,487,887 general-election ballots by 2,042,607 active registered voters and rounds to two decimal places. The latest primary comparison divides 449,267 ballots by 2,060,184 active registered voters.

Keep in mind

Registered-voter turnout is not the same as turnout among all voting-age or voting-eligible residents.
Turnout does not by itself measure election access, administration quality, confidence, or the effect of a specific rule.

Residence context

Reported abortions involving out-of-area residents: 1,578 (13.2%)

How it was measured

CDC compiles aggregate abortion data voluntarily reported by state health agencies and other reporting areas.

Keep in mind

This is an occurrence count, not a count of abortions obtained by Nevada residents; it includes out-of-state residents and excludes Nevada residents whose abortions occurred elsewhere.
CDC abortion surveillance is voluntary and reporting completeness and definitions can differ across reporting areas; the measure does not establish the effect of a law or candidate position.

Facts are shown for context only and do not affect candidate matching or rankings. Dates, definitions, limitations, and primary sources are included with each figure.
