Background

Abortion is currently legal in Nevada up to 24 weeks. [6] Nevada Question 6 was placed on the ballot after the organization, Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom, collected the required number of signatures in June 2024. [7] Voters must approve the ballot question in both 2024 and 2026 to amend the state constitution. [7]

Question 6 language

"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 health-care professional until fetal viability, or when necessary to protect the health or life of the pregnant individual at any point during the pregnancy?" [8]
