General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[1]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[2][3][4]

Noteworthy ballot measures
- See also: Nevada 2024 ballot measures
Nevada had seven ballot measures on the November 5, 2024, ballot in Nevada. Two notable ones included the Nevada Right to Abortion Initiative, which was designed to provide for a state constitutional right to an abortion, and Question 3, designed to change Nevada's primaries to use ranked-choice voting.
Observers and officials commented on whether the amendments would increase turnout statewide.
- David Byler of Noble Predictive Insights, a polling firm said: “Abortion is an issue that brings Democrats to the polls – and that high enthusiasm has allowed them to beat Republicans in low-turnout special elections... And that is an advantage for Democrats.”[5]
- David Damore, a political science professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas said: “When abortion rights are on the ballot, it mobilizes turnout among supporters that crosses party lines.”[6]
- 538's Nathaniel Rakich said: "But while interest in these measures will undoubtedly be high this November, there just isn't much evidence that they'll turn out many voters who weren't already going to vote anyway... in every state with an abortion-related ballot measure in 2022, more votes were cast for the office at the top of the ticket than for the ballot measure."[7]
- Former Clark County GOP Chair David Gibbs said of the abortion amendment: “I’m not hearing much about it... Is it going to drive people to the polls? It might, but there’s a good probability that those people were going to vote anyway.”[8]
- Sondra Cosgrove, director of Vote Nevada, said of Question 3: “The largest group of voters is already saying, ‘You know, I’m not really cool with either of the parties right now’ but then they feel like they’re being shut out at the same time... People can see that the system’s kind of gummed-up and doesn’t work very well, so they’re interested in reforms to our election processes.”[8]
- Gibbs disagreed with Cosgrove's assessment on voter interest in the specific amendment. The Epoch Times' John Haughey said: "Mr. Gibbs agreed, except he said the election reform Nevadans are interested in is not ranked choice voting. Unlike 2022 when it only passed by 53 percent, he said, Question 3 will face stiff opposition in 2024 with coalescing groups prepared to show “how much this is going to both complicate and muddy the waters in our elections,” predicting the “voters of Nevada will reject” ranked voting.[8]
Question 6
A "yes" vote supported providing for a state constitutional right to an abortion, providing for the state to regulate abortion after fetal viability, except where medically indicated to "protect the life or health of the pregnant patient." |
A "no" vote opposed providing for a state constitutional right to an abortion. |

Question 3
A "yes" vote supported establishing open top-five primaries and ranked-choice voting for general elections, which would apply to congressional, gubernatorial, state executive official, and state legislative elections. |
A "no" vote opposed establishing open top-five primaries and ranked-choice voting for general elections, which would apply to congressional, gubernatorial, state executive official, and state legislative elections. |

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Nevada in 2024. Information below was calculated on April 13, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Twenty-two candidates ran for Nevada’s four U.S. House districts, including five Democrats and 17 Republicans. That’s 5.5 candidates per district, less than the 8.25 candidates per district in 2022, the 10.0 candidates per district in 2020, and the 10.5 candidates in 2018.
The 22 candidates who ran in Nevada in 2024 was the fewest number of candidates since 2014, when 19 candidates ran.
No seats were open in 2024, meaning all incumbents ran for re-election. There were two House seats open in 2018 and one in 2016, the only two election cycles this decade in which House seats were open.
Nine candidates—two Democrats and seven Republicans—ran for the 3rd Congressional District, the most candidates who ran for a seat in Nevada in 2024.
Six primaries—two Democratic and four Republican—were contested in 2024, tying with 2014 for the fewest this decade.
Three incumbents—two Democrats and one Republican—faced primary challengers in 2024. That’s the same number of incumbents who faced primary challengers in 2022, but less than the four incumbents who faced primary challengers in 2020.
The 2nd Congressional District was guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed to run. Republicans filed to run in every district, meaning none were guaranteed to Democrats.Cook Political Report's Partisan Voter Index for Nevada, 2024 | |||
