::''See also: [[Legislative referral]]''

A '''legislative referral''', or '''legislatively referred ballot measure''', is a [[ballot measure]] that appears on the ballot due to a vote of the state legislature. A legislative referral can be a [[constitutional amendment]], state statute, or bond issue.

As of the 2024 election, a simple majority {{Greener|start=11/5/2024 8:00PM CDT|before=is|after=was}} required during two successive legislative sessions for the [[Nevada State Legislature]] to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot. That {{Greener|start=11/5/2024 8:00PM CDT|before=amounts|after=amounted}} to a minimum of 22 votes in the [[Nevada State Assembly]] and 11 votes in the [[Nevada State Senate]], assuming no vacancies. Amendments {{Greener|start=11/5/2024 8:00PM CDT|before=do|after=did}} not require the governor's signature to be referred to the ballot.

{{Greener|start=11/5/2024 8:00PM CDT|before=Heading into the 2024 election|after=At the time of the 2024 election}}, Democrats {{Greener|start=11/5/2024 8:00PM CDT|before=hold|after=held}} a 13-7 majority in the Senate and a 26-14 majority in the Assembly. Democrats {{Greener|start=11/5/2024 8:00PM CDT|before=would need|after=needed}} to lose two Senate seats and four Assembly seats to lose the ability to pass legislative referrals without Republican votes. Republicans {{Greener|start=11/5/2024 8:00PM CDT|before=would need|after=needed}} to win four Senate seats and eight Assembly seats to have the ability.
