This article explains the campaign for and against Question 3 in Nevada, the top-five initiative. It says the proponents have raised $17,000,000, mostly from out-of-state.

Even though this is a long article, neither it, nor any other newspaper story, explains that if it passed, it would be much more difficult for small qualified parties to remain ballot-qualified. Nevada has two ways for a party to remain qualified. The easier one, by far, is to poll 1% of the statewide vote for any office. Almost any minor party can do that, if it runs for offices for which there is little competition. But the initiative eliminates party nominees (except for president), so that method would be defunct.

The other method is to have registration membership of 1% of the state total. It is uncommon for any minor party to have registration that high, except that parties with “Independent” or “Independence” usually have registration that is at the 2% or even 3% range.

If the measure passes on November 8, 2022, it still won’t be law. In Nevada, constitutional amendments must pass two elections in a row. So it would automatically appear on the ballot again in November 2024.
