Voters will decide today who becomes the next representative for state Assembly District 1.

Democrat Elizabeth Betancourt and Republican Megan Dahle are vying to represent the nine-county district, which includes Nevada County. The winner will take the seat of former Assemblyman Brian Dahle, husband of Megan Dahle, who won a special election earlier this year for a state Senate seat.

Nevada County voters can cast a ballot in person from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. today at one of three vote centers: Eric Rood Administrative Center, 950 Maidu Ave., Nevada City; Truckee Town Hall, 10183 Truckee Airport Road, Truckee; and the Gold Miners Inn, 121 Bank St., Grass Valley.

“Gold Miners’ typically has drawn in more people,” said Natalie Adona, assistant clerk-recorder/registrar of voters.
