Potential constitutional amendment for abortion rights

If the measure passes, abortion would become a constitutional right in Nevada, applicable from the start of pregnancy up to "fetal viability." This concept refers to the point in pregnancy when, according to the healthcare provider, there is a realistic chance the fetus could survive outside the uterus without extraordinary medical care.

Abortion ballot question wording

This is the question that will appear on Nevada ballots regarding abortion: "Should Nevada’s Constitution be amended to create a fundamental right to an abortion, without interference from state or local governments, provided that the abortion is performed by a qualified healthcare professional up to fetal viability or when necessary to protect the health or life of the pregnant person at any time during pregnancy?”

Current abortion restrictions

In Nevada, abortion is prohibited after 24 weeks of pregnancy. Additionally, only doctors are permitted to perform this procedure, with other qualified health professionals barred from doing so. The abortion issue was essential in 2022 for Democrats to maintain Senate control in this state.

Abortion ballot measure in Nevada

Nevada as "The Silver State"

Nevada is known as "The Silver State" due to the large silver deposits discovered in the 1870s. Today, mining still holds some importance in the economy, though to a much lesser extent. Besides silver, Nevada is a major producer of gold, oil, and sand. However, its current economic strength is based on tourism, particularly in the Las Vegas casinos, which attract thousands of visitors annually who come to gamble.

Deciding issues among Americans regarding who to vote for in the 2024 presidential election in the United States by party ideology

How much attention Americans are paying to the presidential election campaigns in the United States in October 2024, by age

Another important detail to consider is the voting intention by age group. Taking into account that in the United States, the majority of the population is between 20 and 50 years old, and that according to Statista data they are those who pay less attention to the campaigns of the presidential candidates, we will see which candidate they opt for.

Nevada is one of the most difficult states to predict; analysts refer to it as a purple state, as it is neither Republican red nor Democratic blue.

In the other swing states, the situation is similar, with the latest polls showing a tie. In all of them, Donald Trump is slightly ahead of Kamala Harris in the intention to vote. In the states of Arizona and Georgia, the difference is almost 2 points, which would make it difficult for the Democrats to win. Special attention to Georgia, with 16 electoral votes, which is considered one of the key states to be President of the United States.

In 2020, Joe Biden won Nevada by a margin of 2.39%, or about 34,000 votes, a similar margin to that of Hillary Clinton over Trump in 2016.

More than three-quarters of Nevada's population lives in Las Vegas, a city that relies solely on tourism. Both Trump and Kamala Harris have promised measures to eliminate taxes on tips.
 

The economy is key. Nevada has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, with most of the population dependent on tourism and the service industry. Economic proposals that best appeal to voters could sway the outcome.

In 2020, Joe Biden won Nevada with 50.1% of the vote, while Donald Trump received 47.7%.

With Nevada’s importance in the electoral map, recent polling shows Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in a near tie for 2024, with Harris polling at 46.5% and Trump close behind at 47.2%.
