📄 Ballot Measures


Nevada General Election
NV statewide
November 3, 2026
Question 6 NV Constitutional Amendment ↻ Second Vote Required

Right to Abortion Initiative

✓ If YES passes

Abortion access becomes a constitutional right in Nevada. Current state law allowing abortion up to 24 weeks is permanently protected and cannot be rolled back by the legislature.

✗ If NO wins

Abortion access continues under existing state laws, but without constitutional protection. The legislature could change those laws in the future.

What it is

This measure would add abortion rights to the Nevada Constitution. It establishes a fundamental right to abortion before fetal viability and at any point when necessary to protect the patient life or health.

What is a constitutional amendment? Nevada's constitution is the highest law in the state — it overrules the legislature and can only be changed by voters. A constitutional amendment locks a right or rule in permanently. Ordinary laws can be changed or repealed by the legislature at any time; a constitutional provision cannot be changed without another statewide vote. That is what makes this vote significant either way.
Why does this need a second vote? Under Nevada law, a constitutional amendment must pass in two separate general elections before it takes effect. This measure already passed in 2024 with 64% approval. Passing it again in 2026 would make it part of the Nevada Constitution. If it fails this time, the process starts over.
What it means for residents

If passed, abortion rights would be written into the state constitution, making them much harder to restrict. If it fails, existing statutory protections remain but without constitutional backing.

Bottom line

A yes vote permanently protects abortion access in the Nevada Constitution. A no vote leaves existing laws in place without constitutional protection.

Question 7 NV Constitutional Amendment ↻ Second Vote Required

Voter Identification Initiative

✓ If YES passes

Starting in 2028, every Nevada voter must show an approved photo ID at the polls. Accepted IDs include a driver's license, passport, or tribal ID. Free IDs would be available from the DMV.

✗ If NO wins

Nevada's current signature-verification system stays in place. No photo ID required — voters sign the poll book and their signature is matched to their registration.

What it is
