Nevada,Arizona,Montana

Voters have sided with abortion rights supporters every time the issue has been directly on the ballot since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the nationwide right to abortion in 2022. This year, the question could be put before voters in yet more states. It’s a lock to be on the ballot in Colorado, Florida, Maryland and South Dakota.

FILE - Abortion-rights activists rally outside the Supreme Court, Wednesday, April 24, 2024, in Washington. Voters in four states will consider adding abortion protections to their state constitutions this year, and there are pushes for measures in several others. FILE - People hold signs during a news conference by Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom, Monday, May 20, 2024, in Las Vegas.

It’s not clear yet how many states will vote on measures to enshrine abortion access in November. In some, the question is whether amendment supporters can get enough valid signatures. In others, it’s up to the legislature. And there’s legal wrangling in some states. Colorado’s top election official confirmed Friday that a measure to enshrine abortion protections into the state constitution, including requirements that Medicaid and private health insurers cover it, made the ballot for the fall election.
