METHOD · PUBLIC VERSION 2
Show the question. Show the count. Show the limits.
Verified polling remains closed. An exploratory pilot may collect separately labeled, unverified voluntary opinions after its abuse checks are configured. There are no verified responses or published results on this site.
Adult pilot responses, Kids Choice responses, and any future verified poll are kept distinct. Exploratory submissions rely on self-reported location and cannot establish one person per answer or represent all residents. A future verified result will describe participating adults whose identity and residence have actually been checked. No opt-in group automatically represents every resident or voter.
Unverified voluntary opinions
Adults may self-report Nevada or U.S. residence for a separately labeled exploratory stream if abuse prevention is configured. Browser and network controls can limit simple repeats but do not prove identity, age, residence, or district. No local decision pilot opens without an affected-area rule. Live participation counts show accepted submissions per question, not verified people. Answer shares appear only after the field closes and a human review, with the exact question version, dates, and number of submissions. Do not use them as an election forecast, a representative estimate, or a mandate to officials.
Hear Nevada youth on their own terms
The separate Kids Choice pilot asks self-reported Nevadans ages 13 to 17 four original youth issue questions, six age-appropriate 2026 statewide candidate preference questions, seven issues adapted from the adult pilot, and a question about a proposed Nye County air permit. It does not ask about voter eligibility or treat an answer as an official ballot or agency comment. The Nye question is open to youth statewide and does not measure the affected area. An age screen comes before the youth cookie and abuse check. Children under 13 cannot respond while a separate privacy and consent design is pending. Public counts show participation only after at least 10 responses to a question. Statewide answer shares require a closed field, human review, at least 100 responses, and suppression of small choices. A county or county equivalent summary requires at least 100 responses to that question from people who selected it, review after close, and a broad count band. It shows a leading choice only when safe and clearly ahead, never exact county counts or answer shares. Age, Nevada residence, and optional county are self-reported. These participants do not represent all Nevada youth or the residents of a county. Open Kids Choice.
Exact place and eligibility
A poll names its jurisdiction and who can respond. The Nevada pilot will begin with verified adults who live in the relevant area. County, city, school, water, ward, and service boundaries can overlap. We will use documented boundary versions and a review route for disputed addresses, moves, people without standard address documents, and areas with no incorporated city.
One verified participant
One person may use more than one device but may answer a given poll only once. Identity proof, residence proof, and eligibility for a specific question are separate checks. A ZIP code, IP address, device, or GPS reading alone will not qualify anyone. GPS shows a device's apparent location at one moment, not a person's residence, and it can be spoofed. We do not request GPS for this pilot. No government voter status will be claimed unless it is lawfully and separately established.
A fixed question and record
Before a poll opens, the public record will show the exact question and choices, their order, the source documents, jurisdiction, eligible group, recruitment method, opening and closing times, and changes to the underlying government proposal. Material changes require a new version and an explained correction.
Clear results, protected people
Verified results will identify the number of participating eligible adults, field dates, missing or excluded responses, and the method used to calculate each figure. Small groups and overlapping demographic slices may be suppressed to prevent identification. Optional self descriptions will be labeled as self reported. We will not display a conventional sampling margin of error for open opt-in polls.
Candidate preference
Political polls ask about stated support if an election were held today. Choices must come from an authoritative roster, with undecided and prefer not to answer included. Such a response is neither a ballot nor a prediction of who will win. W4POLLS will not ask people to register with a party or ideology to use the service.
Independent review
Security controls, question wording, accessibility, and tabulation need outside review before a live verified poll begins. We will publish a dated record of the controls operating, the review findings, corrections, and remaining limits. Any claim about security must be supported by testing and independent review.
Describe yourself, if you choose
Any self-description questions will be optional, permit multiple selections when appropriate, and include prefer not to answer. We will not infer or assign a person's identity, party, or views. Breakdown labels will say self reported, and small groups or combinations will not be published when they could identify someone.
2027 Nevada legislative records
The 2027 Nevada Legislature tracker uses the Legislature's public bill draft request list. Our September 25, 2026 snapshot contains 597 requests: 596 without a status label and one marked Withdrawn. A blank status is not proof that a request will become a bill. These are bill draft requests, not 597 introduced bills. The list can change, and each tracker update needs its own source date. A request's brief description is not bill text or a final decision. A poll about bill language must cite a prefiled or introduced bill and account for amendments. If we ask which BDR topics deserve attention, replies will be voluntary, self-reported opinions about priorities, not legislative votes or support for specific bill language. The Legislature's allocation guide shows additional request windows through February 2027, so this count is not a final session total.
How a BDR becomes a bill question
Each request card separates the exact official description from related background and unanswered questions. A related report can explain current policy; it cannot establish what an unpublished draft would change. When a numbered bill is public, a separately reviewed explainer must link the exact text and version, identify which sections change current law, explain who is affected, check fiscal information and effective dates, and attribute public arguments to their sources. The absence of a fiscal note is not evidence of zero cost. Only then can a separate support, oppose, or need-more-information question refer to that specific bill version. An adopted substantive amendment closes the earlier stance question until its explanation and wording are reviewed again. Earlier BDR topic answers remain separate and never become votes on bill language.
