Libertarian Party of Nevada

The Libertarian Party of Nevada has continued to grow in both influence and voter registration since its inception.

[7] Moore went on to lose his re-election bid on November 8, 2016, after the state Libertarian Party censured him for votes cast during a special session of the Nevada Legislature.

The platform includes a variety of topics where civil liberties have been restricted or there has been an overreach by the government.

These topics include: Marriage equality, reductions in alcohol regulation (including lowering the drinking age to 18), increasing jobs through encouraging competition, lowering taxes and fees on businesses, abolishing the minimum wage, increasing competition in education, returning federal lands to the State of Nevada and the people, ending eminent domain abuse, adding Constitutional Carry to the Nevada Constitution, promoting open-borders policies, and ending the War on Drugs.

The following constitutes a summary of those bylaws, which are presented in full on the Libertarian Party of Nevada's website.

People should be allowed to live as they choose so long as they do not initiate violence or engage in coercion, theft, or fraud.

This includes, but is not limited to, amending bylaws, choosing delegates to the Libertarian Party National Convention, and filling vacancies in the executive committee.

This convention shall take place before the beginning date for a minor political party to file its list of candidates with the Nevada Secretary of State's office.

If the beginning date for a minor political party to file its list of candidates with the Secretary of State is prior to February 1 of the even-numbered year, then the Convention may be held up to 60 days before the first date to file even if that moves the convention to the previous year.

The LPN shall hold a Convention in odd-numbered years anytime from January to May for the purpose of electing Executive Committee members, amending bylaws, and whatever other business deemed necessary and proper.

A special Convention shall be held within one-hundred and twenty (120) days upon petition of one-third of the LPN members or a three-fourths vote of the executive committee.

All other business, including the selection of candidates for public office, is conducted by any LPN members serving as delegates.

In any election held at the State Convention, should NOTA receive a majority on two successive ballots, then no candidate shall be nominated for that office.

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws, no member who has been convicted of a felony against person or property shall be an endorsed candidate, officer, or hold any other position of leadership in either the LPN or an affiliate without the consent of two-thirds vote of the executive committee members in favor.

Members of the LPN Executive Committee shall not be restricted from serving in officer or representative positions within an Affiliate.

The executive committee members shall perform the duties prescribed by these bylaws and by the parliamentary authority adopted by the LPN.

Meetings of the LPN Executive Committee shall be held at least quarterly, either in person or by publicly available electronic means.

Additionally, the executive committee shall maintain an e-mail list or message board for conducting business in between quarterly meetings.

Minutes of all Executive Committee meetings shall be posted on the LPN website no later than ten (10) days after they have been approved.

Notice shall also be published prominently on the state party's website at least thirty (30) days before the affiliate convention.

Each Affiliate must report its list of nominated candidates to the LPN Secretary prior to the convention.

These bylaws may be amended by a majority vote of two-thirds of the dues-paying member delegates at any Convention.
