Nevada Voters to Reconsider Abortion Rights Measure in November Election
Nevada voters will once again weigh in on a ballot measure to enshrine the state’s law allowing abortions up to 24 weeks after conception into the state constitution during the upcoming November general election. This marks the second time Nevadans will vote on this measure, as state law requires two majority votes to enact constitutional amendments. The proposal received strong support two years ago, with 64% of voters approving it. The renewed vote comes after the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned federal abortion protections and left abortion policy to individual states. This has resulted in a patchwork of state laws across the country. Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom, the coalition behind the measure, is actively campaigning to ensure continued voter mobilization, aiming to protect abortion access from potential future legislative changes.
