§1What your vote means

Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.

A yes vote

A yes vote would add to the Nevada Constitution a right to an abortion by a qualified health care practitioner until fetal viability, or later when needed for the patient’s life or health, which state and local governments could restrict only for the patient’s health, in line with accepted clinical standards, and by the least restrictive means.1 pp. 4-5, 14

A no vote

A no vote would leave the Nevada Constitution unchanged, and abortion would stay governed by existing state law, which allows it within 24 weeks of the start of pregnancy and later when a physician believes it is needed to preserve the patient’s life or health.1 pp. 4-5

§3What it needs to pass

Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.

More than one condition. An amendment proposed by initiative must win a majority of the votes cast on it at two general elections in a row; voters approved this one in 2024, so it becomes part of the constitution only if a majority votes yes again in 2026.1,5 Nev.
