Nevada Voters Approve Abortion Rights Amendment

In the recent elections, Nevada voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot amendment requiring photo ID for voting and simultaneously passed a measure to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution. The Voter Identification Initiative received approximately 73% support, while the abortion rights proposal garnered about 63% approval, needing a second vote in 2026 to take effect. The abortion measure protects access until fetal viability, aligning with the state's existing law that permits abortions until around 24 weeks. This initiative reflects Nevada's longstanding pro-choice stance, according to advocates. Additionally, exit polls indicated that democracy and the economy were top concerns for voters, with a significant majority supporting abortion rights, affirming the issue's influence in the electoral process.
