Clark County’s analogue emergency communications system, installed in 1997, must be updated to a digital system at a cost of $45 million, say Clark County emergency services organizations, including the police departments of each city, county and municipal fire departments, and the county sheriff’s office.
Thus voters are presented with an opportunity to increase their sales tax by one-tenth of one percent (one cent on a $10 purchase) to pay for the new system.
Voting began two weeks ago and so far has been slow. By this morning fewer than 30 percent of the county’s 194,832 registered voters have responded.
To count, votes must be returned to the county Elections Department by 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 22. Mail will no longer count tomorrow, according to elections officials. Ballots not yet returned should be taken to drop-off locations throughout the county or to the Elections Department’s drive-by drop-off box at 1408 Franklin Street and dropped off by 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 22.
