S 1322 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

ELECTIONS – Amends existing law to add certain requirements for an affidavit in lieu of personal identification.

This bill amends Idaho's election law to update requirements for voters who cannot present ID. It requires voters using an affidavit in lieu of ID to provide their name, address, and either their date of birth or Idaho driver's license/ID number - previously only name and address were needed. Election judges must verify this information against voter registration records before issuing a ballot. Providing false information on the affidavit becomes a felony, and the law takes effect July 1, 2026. The bill directly affects voters without acceptable ID at polling locations.
