NRS 294A.0025 - "Advocates expressly" or "expressly advocates" defined.

"Advocates expressly" or "expressly advocates" means that a communication, taken as a whole, is susceptible to no other reasonable interpretation other than as an appeal to vote for or against a clearly identified candidate or group of candidates or a question or group of questions on the ballot at a primary election, general election or special election. A communication does not have to include the words "vote for," "vote against," "elect," "support" or other similar language to be considered a communication that expressly advocates the passage or defeat of a candidate or a question.
