Typically, less than half the population eligible to vote, actually votes. As electoral politics has increasingly become a greater proportion of the economy, it will be interesting to see if the grassroots dedication and interest remain in future general elections. If you’re disengaged or have diverse views, exercise your civic duty to be part of the dialogue and vote to improve your quality of life. To register to vote (or change your voter registration), visit Nevada's new online registration system.
Civic & Neighborhood Engagement
Engaging in one's community is the essence of democracy, inclusion, social responsibility and stewardship for the future of the entire community. We welcome diversity of perspectives, age, gender and orientation, cultures, races and ethnicities in governance, place and culture that guide our community and engage citizens as civic participants.
The percentage of eligible citizens registered and casting votes indicates they are vested and see the value in working to make our community even better.

The Litter Index is a national initiative of Keep America Beautiful that provides a starting point for the litter prevention process. It has been conducted by Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful (KTMB) volunteer teams since 1993, ranking areas of the community on a cleanliness scale from 1 to 4 (the lower the number, the lower the amount of litter observed in the area). In 2015, KTMB began collapsing sub-areas into Wards and Districts, which was switched to traffic routes in 2019 for easier tracking (visit KTMB for older index data).
Civic responsibility includes having the ability to effectively participate in the governing process; whereas the diversity of elected or appointed policy-makers and staff demonstrates that government is representative of and responsive to our citizens.
