Abortion referendums are on the ballot in 10 states this election, including in the battleground states of Arizona and Nevada. This could boost turnout for Democrats and base voters.

Since the Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling in 2022, seven states have weighed in on abortion access through ballot referendums. In all of them, including red states like Kansas and Kentucky, voters have chosen to protect or expand abortion access.
