Ballot Question Funding Mechanism Amendment

Did not qualify

Nevada · November 2026 general election · Constitutional amendment · Election day November 3, 2026
Topics: Elections and voting, Government structure, Taxes and revenue

In plain language

This proposed constitutional amendment would have changed the Nevada Constitution's unfunded-mandate provision, which a 2022 Nevada Supreme Court ruling reads as requiring sponsors of any constitutional ballot question with a financial impact to name a tax or tax increase in the measure itself. The sponsor filed it in direct response to the lawsuit that ended an earlier redistricting petition. Organizers did not submit enough valid signatures by the June 24, 2026 deadline, so the measure will not appear on the November 3, 2026 ballot.
