Voters this November will have an opportunity to vote on a ballot measure that would fundamentally change Nevada’s election system.
The measure, Question 3, would change the Nevada Constitution in two big ways — it would allow all voters to participate in primaries regardless of party affiliation and implement ranked-choice voting in general elections.
It’s the second time Question 3 will appear before voters after it narrowly passed in the 2022 election. Read below for specific details on what the ballot measure would do, who supports it and how much it would cost.
Summary of what it does: Question 3 would require most partisan elections in Nevada to move to a ranked-choice voting system, excluding presidential and local government elections but affecting contests for U.S. Senate and congressional races, legislative elections and statewide office positions.
If passed, primary elections in the state would open up to all voters regardless of party registration starting in 2026, with the top five vote-getters (regardless of their political party) advancing to the general election.
