Carson City Chief Deputy Clerk, Aubrey Rowlatt, announced her bid to run for the office of Carson City County Clerk-Recorder in the November 2018 election.
Rowlatt has served as the chief deputy clerk for Carson City since 2015 and has assisted in two legislative sessions researching and testifying on proposed legislation on behalf of the Clerk’s Marriage, Notary and Election departments. Prior to that, she served as deputy recorder for Douglas County.
Rowlatt said her primary objective is to maintain the continuity and integrity of the department that long-term past Clerk-Recorder Alan Glover and current Clerk-Recorder Sue Merriwether have created. Merriwether has stated she will not seek re-election in 2018.
“During the 2016 election cycle we heard from many constituents regarding their concerns and wishes to vote on a paper ballot,” Rowlatt said. “Sue and I researched the two different types of voting equipment certified in Nevada and determined the ExpressVoteBallot Marking Device was the best fit for Carson City. This voting system will provide a paper ballot that voters will use to verify their electronically marked touch screen selections, simplifying the voting experience.”
Over the next few months, Rowlatt will lead the training for election workers and staff on the new equipment, as well as manage an open house for the public on the new voting system.
Merriwether said she supports Rowlatt’s bid for her position.
“Aubrey has been training closely with me for the past two years,” Merriwether said. “She has a thorough industrial knowledge of the responsibilities and challenges of the office and the experience to perform the duties of this position. I feel confident she is the best candidate.”
