Due to a court ruling regarding the elections for the city council and mayor by the Nevada Supreme Court[3][4] and changes to the law regarding all elections here statewide by the Nevada Legislature and Governor Steve Sisolak (a Democrat), March is not eligible to run for re-election in 2022 due to term limits effectively extending the mayoral term to 1 year.[5][6][7]
