NEVADA QUESTION #6 - ABORTION RIGHTS

Amendment to the Nevada Constitution

Initiative Petition C-05-2023

Proposes to amend the Nevada Constitution to make abortion access individual right.

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.

Note: This is second vote on this question. Received a 64.4% approval in 2024. It amends the Nevada Constitution if passed.
