Las Vegas – Commissioner April Becker raised alarms over Clark County’s handling of no-bid contracts for election services during a June 2025 commission meeting. She highlighted how one agreement for voting software grew from $320,000 in 2015 to $32 million a decade later through amendments and automatic increases, often approved without public discussion.[1] The revelations from 8 News Now Investigators pointed to a pattern spanning years, prompting calls for stricter adherence to bidding procedures.[1]

She accused the elections department of bypassing competitive bidding requirements that other county divisions followed. Her solo “no” vote stood against a 6-1 approval, underscoring divisions on procurement practices.
