Nevada residents voted in favor of a constitutional amendment to guarantee the right to an abortion up to 24 weeks of pregnancy, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ.
Already, Nevada state law protects abortion up until this point, due to a law state lawmakers passed in the 1990s. But if added to the state constitution, an amendment would add another layer of security — it is far harder to repeal or be struck down by a state court.
In Nevada, constitutional amendments must pass in two consecutive election cycles. That means this measure will go before voters again in 2026. If it passes again, it will take effect.
