Nevada State Ballot Question #6 - Abortion Rights
Amendment to the Nevada Constitution
Originated - Initiative Petition C-05-2023
Proposes to amend the Nevada Constitution to make abortion access individual right.
If passed in 2024 will be placed on the General Election Ballot in 2026.
Ballot Question:
Should the Nevada Constitution be amended to create an individual’s fundamental right to an abortion, without interference by state or local governments, whenever the abortion is performed by a qualified healthcare professional until fetal viability or when necessary to protect the health or life of the pregnant individual at any point during the pregnancy?
A “Yes” vote would create a new section of the Nevada Constitution to establish a person’s constitutional right to abortion, so that a person can make decisions about matters relating to abortion and reproductive healthcare, without interference from state or local governments.
A “No” vote would keep the Nevada Constitution in its current form and would not impact the availability of abortion as a statutory right under Nevada law.
