WHAT WOULD QUESTION 3 DO?

More voice. More choice.

Passing Question 3 means Nevada will use open top-five primaries and ranked-choice general elections for statewide and federal elections starting in 2026.
OPEN TOP-FIVE PRIMARY ELECTIONS

Open primaries give all voters a voice

The current primary system emphasizes partisans who push to the extremes. By allowing all Nevadan voters to participate and all candidates to appear on the ballot, voters will get something different than the typical Left vs. Right divide.

All registered voters can participate

All candidates and all parties are on the same primary ballot

Top five vote getters move on to the general election

RANKED-CHOICE VOTING (RCV) GENERAL ELECTIONS

RCV general elections give voters more choice

Voters will get to choose from up to five candidates in the general election. That's the definition of more choice. And, thanks to ranked-choice voting, there's no need to worry about "wasted votes" when voting for less popular candidates you agree with.

Rank your most preferred candidates

If your top ranked candidate can't win, then your vote moves to your next ranked choice

The winner is more likely to have broad support amongst voters

BETTER GOVERNING RESULTS

Elected officials have more incentive to govern

Office holders often can't pass meaningful legislation unless they work with "the other side." But, working with "the other side" guarantees a primary challenge. The result: gridlock. Top-Five Primaries and RCV General Elections change the incentives to encourage action.

Getting stuff done is more relevant than being controversial

Getting "primaried" is no longer a threat

Winning elections means appealing to a majority of voters, not just a narrow base

How Ranked Choice Voting Works

1

Voters rank ballots

Each voter selects their most preferred choices on the ballot. First, second, third, and so on.

In the first round, the top ranked choices are counted to determine if a candidate received enough votes to win.

2

Lowest vote getters are eliminated

If no candidate gets enough votes to win, the candidate with the least votes is eliminated.

Those who voted for an eliminated candidate have their vote redistributed to their next choice in the following round.

3

Repeat until a winner is found

In the next round, the redistributed votes are added to the remaining candidates' totals.

The elimination and redistribution process repeats automatically until a candidate receives enough votes to win.
