Two ballot measures which would increase gaming and sales taxes and dedicate revenue to education were placed on the ballot after the Nevada Legislature chose to not act on them during the session. A Nevada Equal Rights Amendment which would prohibit discrimination based on an individual's race, color, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, ancestry or national origin was also placed on the ballot. The third ballot measure would replace both the primary and voting systems with top-five-based Ranked-choice voting system.
