Voters in Nevada rejected Question 3 (54.3% against, 45.7% in favor)

Question 3: Final-five voting (open primaries + ranked choice voting in the general election) for congressional, gubernatorial, state executive official, and state legislative elections

✅ Good for voters: Nearly 30% of Nevada voters are officially registered as “non-partisan” and are thus not allowed to participate in Nevada’s fully closed system. Question 3 would have given these voters a greater say in their representation.

Question 3 passed in 2022 with 53% of the vote but needed to pass again in 2024 to take effect as a constitutional amendment.

The only voters who can currently participate in Nevada’s primary elections are those registered as Republican or Democrat even though nearly 30% of Nevada voters are officially registered as “non-partisan.” This change would have allowed nonpartisan- and third-party-registered voters to participate and have their voices heard, and it would have incentivized candidates to appeal to the widest range of voters, replacing the existing incentive structure for candidates to appeal to the most extreme minorities of their party’s base.

RepresentUs worked with Vote Yes on 3 and a coalition of partners and community groups to bio;d support for the measure.
