Nevada State Ballot Question #3 - Open Primary/Ranked Choice
Amendment to the Nevada Constitution
Originated - Constitutional Initiative Petition C-01-2021
Proposes to amend the Nevada Constitution to allow for open primaries and ranked-choice voting.
If passed in 2024 becomes law.
Ballot Question:
Shall the Nevada Constitution be amended to allow all Nevada voters the right to participate in open primary elections to choose candidates for the general election in which all voters may then rank the remaining candidates by preference for the offices of U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, State Controller, Attorney General, and State Legislators?
A “Yes” vote would amend Articles 5 & 15 of the Nevada Constitution to allow all Nevada voters the right to participate in open primary elections to choose candidates for the general election in which all voters may then rank the remaining candidates by preference for the offices of U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, State Controller, Attorney General, and State Legislators.
A “No” vote would retain the provisions of Articles 5 & 15 of the Nevada Constitution in their current form.
