Nevadans to vote on abortion rights amendment
Supporters say Question 6 would lock in abortion rights and prevent future limits, while opponents warn it could weaken current state protections.
- Nevadans will vote on Question 6, a proposed amendment to enshrine abortion rights into the Nevada Constitution. Ballots were recently mailed to registered voters, with early in-person voting beginning Oct. 17.
- Voters passed Question 6 by 64.4% to 35.6% in 2024, but Nevada law requires constitutional amendments to pass in two consecutive elections. The measure would replace the current 24-week legal limit with 'fetal viability.'
- Melissa Clement, executive director of Nevada Right to Life, noted the opposition campaign received less than $12,000 compared to more than $815,000 for the amendment. Both sides argue the other threatens women's health.
- While current law allows abortion within 24 weeks, the amendment would permit procedures until 'fetal viability.' The Secretary of State defines this as when a fetus has significant likelihood of sustained survival.
- This vote occurs as states across the country remain split on abortion access following the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Polls for the general election open Nov. 3 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
