The Nevada Supreme Court just struck down an appeal by Schools Over Stadiums to put the issue of baseball stadium funding before Nevada voters. But a few other ballot initiatives are still on the table.

Existing ballot questions

Nevadans will weigh in on proposals in 2024 to:

  • Remove the Board of Regents from governing public higher education.
  • Replace the words insane, blind, deaf, and dumb from the state constitution.
  • Open Nevada primaries to all registered voters, regardless of party affiliation, with ranked-choice voting in general elections for state-level positions.
  • Remove language in the state constitution that authorizes the use of slavery as criminal punishment.
  • Exempt diapers from state sales tax.

To get on the ballot for this election or the following one, supporters of the following initiatives need to gather 102,362 signatures of support by their respective deadlines.

Abortion (2024)

Nevada voters already approved abortion through 24 weeks, but now Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom is seeking to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution.

Voter ID (2024)

Repair the Vote wants to require a valid photo ID for all in-person voters and some kind of personal identification number (from a driver’s license or Social Security card, for example) for those voting by mail.

Teacher Strikes (2026)

Teachers are currently prohibited from going on strike. That could change if a PAC affiliated with the Clark County Education Association succeeds in getting a ballot initiative approved.

Payday Loans (2026)

Stop Predatory Lending NV is pushing two petitions. Either one would initiate a 36 percent interest rate cap on short-term loans like title loans and payday loans. One of the petitions aims to limit the amount that can be seized from wages or a bank account due to an unpaid debt.

Attorney Fees (2026)

A petition backed by Uber would cap attorney fees at 20 percent in Nevada.
