A ballot question seeking to add abortion protections to the Nevada constitution will appear on the November ballot this year.

The political group Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom said Friday that the Secretary of State's office certifiedElections officials verified more than 127,000 signatures, well above the 102,362 signatures needed to qualify, according to a memo from the Secretary of State's office.Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom says a simple majority vote could overturn that law, so a constitutional amendment would strengthen the protection for abortions.

Other forms of reproductive care would also be protected, including childbirth, postpartum care, birth control and infertility care. Because the ballot question would amend the state constitution, if Nevada voters pass the initiative with a simple majority in November, it will need to pass a second time in 2026.
