The 2014 Nevada Secretary of State election was held on November 4, 2014, to elect the Secretary of State of Nevada, concurrently with elections to the United States House of Representatives, governor, and other state and local elections. Primary elections were held on June 10, 2014, though both major party candidates ran uncontested.[1] [2] A debate was held on October 3, 2014.[3]
