The Political History of Nevada is a collection of facts and interesting accounts of Nevada's political past. First issued in pamphlet form in 1910 by Secretary of State William Douglas, this important reference tool provides readers with political data and election results since Nevada became a state in 1864.

The Political History of Nevada is routinely updated and published and is produced jointly with the Research Division of the Legislative Counsel Bureau.  The 2018 edition is available online on both the Secretary of State’s website and the Legislative Counsel Bureau’s website.
