County of Nevada, California

Nevada City, CA

Annual Salary: $188,453.40

The County of Nevada, California is seeking an experienced, community-oriented Clerk-Recorder/Registrar of Voters (ROV) to oversee the Clerk, Recorder, and Election operations in a county known for its engaged and politically diverse electorate. This is an elected position; however, due to a vacancy, the Board of Supervisors must by law appoint someone to serve the remainder of the term. While the Board hopes the appointee will run in the June 2, 2026, primary election, leading to the November 3, 2026, general election, it is not a requirement. Residency in Nevada County and voter registration are mandatory.

This role offers a unique opportunity to enhance public trust in the electoral process by advancing transparency, accessibility, and innovation. The ROV will lead a dedicated team, manage a $3.7 million budget, and collaborate closely with County leadership and the Board of Supervisors to ensure accurate and efficient operations and an inclusive election process. The ideal candidate is a collaborative, hands-on leader who values professionalism and humility, embraces the rural lifestyle, and is eager to engage with the community. Nevada County offers small-town charm, a strong sense of connection, and exceptional outdoor recreation—making it an ideal place to live, lead, and serve. Serve democracy in the heart of the Sierras—apply today!
