In the 2026 midterm elections, voters in multiple states weighed in on ballot measures related to abortion and transgender rights. In Missouri, voters rejected a proposal to ban both abortion and gender-affirming healthcare for transgender minors. Meanwhile, in Washington, Arizona, and Colorado, voters appeared to support measures restricting transgender youth participation in school sports aligned with their gender identity. In Colorado, a measure to ban gender-affirming surgery for minors was also leading. On abortion, voters in Nevada and Virginia approved measures to enshrine abortion rights in their state constitutions, while Idaho voters rejected a similar measure. The outcomes reflect a mix of support for both abortion rights and transgender rights, with some states leaning more conservative on these issues.
