The Nevada Secretary of State released the official ballot guide for the upcoming 2026 General Election. The document outlines state questions 6 and 7, which concern abortion access and voter identification requirements, respectively.

Why it matters

In Nevada, constitutional amendments must be approved by voters twice to become law, with these specific questions appearing on the ballot for the second time. The official guide serves to provide voters with nonpartisan details on these proposals before they cast their ballots.

State Questions 6 and 7 are on the ballot for the second time after initial passage in 2024. Five other statewide questions failed to qualify for this election due to a lack of required signatures.
