Henderson Voters To Consider Key Ballot Measure in 2026 Primary Election

Voters To Decide the Future of Parks and Recreation Funding

HENDERSON, Nev . (May 4, 2026) - In the upcoming 2026 Primary Election, Henderson residents will consider several important ballot items, including a measure that will help shape the future of local parks and recreation funding.

Ballot Question 1 asks Henderson voters whether to continue an existing property tax originally approved in 1997. Set at 12 cents per $100 of assessed property value, the tax currently provides approximately 40% of the City's Parks and Recreation Department budget and supports programs and services that contribute to Henderson's quality of life.

Voting Yes, supports:

• Clean, well-maintained parks, trails and sports fields
• Pools, community centers and recreation programs
• Youth and preschool programs, childcare and senior services
• Safe, active neighborhoods and strong property values

If it is not passed, the tax rate will remain the same, and the funding will be redirected out of Henderson-impacting the future of Parks and Recreation services and amenities.

Voting No, potentially means:

• Reduction in park/trail maintenance
• Cutbacks on recreation programs and events
• Delayed equipment repair/replacement
• Decreased property values
• Increased safety risks
• Decline in economic and community vitality
• Decline in City services
