Tracking Nevada’s 7 ballot questions — and what each result means
Question 1
This pivotal measure, introduced by the Nevada Legislature, aims to remove the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education from the state constitution.
Question 2
This proposal seeks to modernize the state constitution by updating outdated language that refers to individuals with disabilities, replacing antiquated terms from the 1800s. For example, the term “Deaf and dumb” would now be framed as “persons who are deaf or hard of hearing.”
Question 3
Question 3 intends to implement substantial reforms to Nevada’s electoral process, particularly regarding open primaries and introducing rank-choice voting.
Question 4
Although the practice of slavery or involuntary servitude is no longer permitted as a punishment in Nevada, the language that allows it remains in the state constitution. Question 4 seeks to eliminate this outdated language.
Question 5
This measure would exempt the sale of both child and adult diapers from any sales tax across the state, ultimately resulting in cost savings for Nevadans purchasing these essential items.
Question 6 — passed
The preliminary results from ballots counted up until Election Day show a decisive lead for Question 6, implying subsequent ballots due in the coming days are unlikely to reverse this outcome.
As of 11:25 p.m. Tuesday, 63% of counted ballots supported this initiative, while 37% were opposed.
Question 6 aims to enshrine the right to abortion in the Nevada constitution, ensuring that even in the hypothetical scenario of a federal abortion ban, Nevada would still uphold this right. Currently, abortion rights are safeguarded under state law. The statute was reaffirmed in a 1990 voter referendum, which means any changes require another vote from the people.
Since Question 6 is a voter initiative, it must receive approval a second time from voters in 2026 for it to take effect.
Question 7
This measure mandates that all voters present identification at polling stations or verify they possess an ID when voting by mail.
As of 12:18 a.m. Wednesday, a significant 73% of the counted ballots favored Question 7, while 27% opposed it.
Similar to other initiatives, Question 7 must also secure a second round of approval from voters in 2026 to be enacted.
