§ NRS § 293C.370Counting of votes cast for deceased candidate

  Except as otherwise provided in NRS 293C.190:

1.  Whenever a candidate whose name appears
upon the ballot at a primary city election dies after 5 p.m. on the second
Tuesday in April, the deceased candidate’s name must remain on the ballot and
the votes cast for the deceased candidate must be counted in determining the
nomination for the office for which the decedent was a candidate.

2.  If the deceased candidate on the ballot
at the primary city election receives the number of votes required to receive
the nomination to the office for which he or she was a candidate, the
nomination is filled by the person who received the next highest vote for the
nomination in the primary election.

3.  Whenever a candidate whose name appears
upon the ballot at a general city election dies after 5 p.m. on the fourth
Friday in July of the year in which the primary city election was held, the
votes cast for the deceased candidate must be counted in determining the
results of the general city election for the office for which the decedent was
a candidate.

4.  If the deceased candidate on the ballot
at the general city election receives the majority of the votes cast for the
office, the deceased candidate shall be deemed elected and the office to which
he or she was elected shall be deemed vacant at the beginning of the term for
which he or she was elected. The vacancy created must be filled in the same
manner as if the candidate had died after taking office for that term.
