Idaho amends voter ID affidavit process, enacts 14 other election bills in 2026

The Idaho Legislature adjourned its 2026 regular session on April 2 after enacting 15 election-related bills, all of which were signed by Gov. Brad Little (R).

Among those bills was S 1322, which amends the state’s option for voters to fill out an affidavit instead of providing a photo ID when voting.

The new law requires voters to provide either their date of birth or Idaho driver’s license or ID card number on the affidavit, in addition to their name and address. Previously, voters were only required to provide their name and address. The information is then verified by election officials before the voter is issued a ballot.

The bill passed both the Idaho House of Representatives and the Idaho Senate unanimously before Little signed it into law on March 31.
