2026 ballot questions

question 6 - CRNN RECOMMENDS no

What It Is: Ballot Question 6 is a measure that seeks to enshrine a right to abortion for all Nevadans within the state's constitution. The proposed amendment would guarantee that an abortion may not be denied at any time throughout a pregnancy up "until the point of fetal viability" except in cases in which the state of Nevada finds a compelling state interest in preserving the life of the mother. "Fetal viability" is defined as a point in time in which the treating health care practitioner determines the baby could survive outside the womb without the need for "extraordinary medical measures" to keep the baby alive. 

 

History: Question 6 originated as a constitutional initiative petition circulated by The Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom PAC and gained enough support to be placed on the 2024 and 2026 ballots. In 2024, the ballot question garnered 905,170 yea votes or 64.36% of voter approval. Question 6 needs to be approved by voters only once more in November to be grafted into the state's constitution. 

 

Why CRNN Recommends NO on 6: Conservative Republicans of Northern Nevada recommends that voters reject Question 6 in order to safeguard not only the lives of innocent unborn children but also the religious freedoms of their fellow Nevadans. The current language of the proposed amendment is sufficiently vague to encourage abuses. The definition of "fetal viability" provided by the text is itself not anchored to any recognized scientific definition but rather to the personal opinion of the treating physician and may lead to late-term abortions. Furthermore, Question 6 could also open the door to stymied religious freedoms for doctors, abortions performed by novice healthcare providers, and (by giving men a right to abortion) either abortions at the demand of fathers or exemptions for fathers from providing child support for those babies they had wanted aborted. Question 6 is dangerous because it provides no real restraints and no true guidance for how it should be interpreted except in its decree that no abortion may be denied except by the state of Nevada for its own interests. Please vote NO on Question 6!

question 7 - crnn recommends yes

What It Is: Question 7 is a ballot measure that seeks to update the Nevada Constitution to place additional identification requirements upon voters before they may vote in the state either in-person or by mail-in ballot. For in-person voting, the measure would require that a voter present at least one document verifying their identity out of a list of nine categories of approved identification documents. These include driver's licenses, state or federal identification cards, government employee photo IDs, U.S. passports, U.S. military IDs, NSHE student photo IDs, tribal photo IDs, Nevada CCWs, and other forms of identification authorized by the Nevada State Legislature. For mail-in voting, the measure would require a voter to include with his mail-in ballot the last four digits of his Nevada driver's license number, the last four digits of his social security number, or (if necessary) a special number provided to him by the county clerk when he registered to vote which he would write next to his signature.

 

History: Question 7 originated a constitutional initiative petition in 2023, circulated by Repair the Vote PAC. The petition garnered over 131,000 signatures and met the legal requirements to gain a place before voters on the ballot in 2024 and 2026. In 2024, Nevada voters approved Question 7 with about 73% in favor of its passage. In order to officially be enshrined in the Nevada State Constitution, Question 7 needs to be approved by voters just one more time in November 2026. 

 

Why CRNN Recommends YES on 7: Conservative Republicans of Northern Nevada recommends that voters approve Question 7 to enhance election integrity in the state of Nevada. The requirements of Question 7, we believe, will bolster election security by making voters provide a greater degree of proof that they are who they claim to be before their votes are cast. Furthermore, this additional layer of security will make it more difficult to steal another person's vote. Would-be criminals will not be able to gain access to a ballot box in another's name simply by forging a signature they acquired from a receipt, an envelope, a previous year's election receipt, or elsewhere. Please vote YES on Question 7!
