Only registered voters who actually voted in the election in which the subject of the recall was elected may sign a petition to recall, per NRS 306.020(3).

In Nevada Hearings April 2019, Senator James Ohrenschall said, “Duplicate signatures, signatures of those not living in the appropriate district or voting in the previous election, and even fake or forged signatures have all been reported.”

Of an initial  preliminary list obtained of 1500 petition signer names, the Village Alliance found a substantial number of names that were not voters in the 2020 election, as well as some duplicates. Some of those names were not registered voters in the District. Even though recall law in Nevada was updated in 2019, it is clear the  problems pointed out to the Nevada legislature regarding “unauthorized signatures” are still occurring.

In 2019, Nevada law was updated to make obtaining the signature of a voter not authorized to sign the petition a category E felony. NRS 306.210.
