The campaign reported submitting more than 179,000 signatures. For the initiative to appear on the ballot, at least 102,362 of those signatures need to be valid.
The initiative would require that Nevada residents present a form of photo identification to verify their identity while voting in person. Acceptable forms of photo identification would include a driver’s license, an identification card issued by the state or federal government, employee photo identification issued by the government, a U.S. passport, a U.S. military card, a student photo identification card issued by a Nevada public college, a tribal photo identification card, a Nevada concealed firearms permit, or another form of government-issued photo identification the state legislature may approve.
If a voter is voting by mail, they would have to verify their identity using the last four digits of their driver’s license or social security number or the number provided by the county clerk when the voter is registered to vote if the voter does not have a driver’s license or social security number.
Currently, 35 states require voters to present identification to vote at the polls on Election Day. Of these states, 24 require photo identification, and 11 accept other forms of identification. The remaining 15 states do not require voters to present identification to vote at the polls on Election Day.
The last state to vote on a photo identification ballot measure was Nebraska, when voters approved Initiative 432 by 65.45%-34.55% on Nov. 8, 2022.
