Tough Year for Clark County Commission in 1976
The 1976 period saw Clark County commissioners face Nevada Supreme Court rulings that the consolidation law was unconstitutional and that they held office illegally in districts, forcing at large elections.

New faces emerged in the primary and general elections as space and building needs forced temporary measures.
