On your 2026 ballot
2 statewide measures are certified for Nevada's 2026 ballots so far.
Question 6Citizen initiative · Abortion · Nov 3, 2026
This initiative would add a right to abortion to the Nevada Constitution, allowing the state to regulate abortion after fetal viability except when medically indicated to protect the life or health of the pregnant patient. Voters approved it in 2024; Nevada requires a second approval in 2026 for it to amend the constitution.
A yes vote means: Adds a right to abortion before fetal viability to the Nevada Constitution.
A no vote means: Leaves the Nevada Constitution unchanged, keeping abortion policy under existing state law.
Question 7Citizen initiative · Voter ID · Nov 3, 2026
This initiative would amend the Nevada Constitution to require photo identification to vote in person, and the last four digits of a driver's license or Social Security number to verify identity when voting by mail. Voters approved it in 2024; it must pass again in 2026 to take effect.
A yes vote means: Requires photo ID for in-person voting and an identifying number for mail ballots.
A no vote means: Leaves Nevada's current voting procedures unchanged, without an ID requirement.
