Nevada Receives First-Ever 'A' Grade in 2026 Digital States Survey

Nevada received its first-ever 'A' grade in the 2026 Digital States Survey, Governor Joe Lombardo's office announced on September 24, 2026. The state also received an Outstanding Achievement Award for Continuous Innovation, recognizing its use of technology to improve government operations. The Digital States Survey assesses states' systematic governance and use of data resources to support effective service delivery. Nevada's award specifically recognized the state's data management practices. A separate roundup covering Democratic governors and state attorneys general noted that New Jersey and Nebraska received lower grades of B and B- respectively in the same survey cycle. Both reports confirm the grade and award as announced, with no indication of disputed facts between the two sources. Details such as the specific criteria used to score states, the full list of participating states and their grades, and any planned next steps by Nevada following the recognition were not included in the available reporting.
