Event Summary

Voters in United States — Idaho, United States — Missouri, United States — West Virginia, and United States — Nevada will decide on abortion-related ballot measures on November 3. United States — Idaho's measure would roll back the state's near-total abortion ban to allow abortion until fetal viability, similar to pre-2022 law. United States — Missouri voters will consider a measure to reinstate an abortion ban with exceptions and ban gender-affirming care for minors. United States — West Virginia and United States — Nevada are voting on constitutional amendments to protect abortion rights, though both states already allow abortion through at least 24 weeks. The measures reflect ongoing national debate after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.
