A voter ID initiative gets approval to appear on the November ballot in Nevada
RENO, Nev. (AP) — A proposed constitutional amendment that would require voters to show photo identification at the polls has qualified for the November ballot in Nevada, the state’s top election official announced Friday. The measure also calls for an extra layer of identification verification for mail ballots, such as the last four digits of a driver’s license or Social Security number. The approval adds to several ballot initiatives that voters will choose alongside tight races up and down Nevada’s November ballot. This includes measures that would further enshrine Nevada’s abortion rights, institute new election processes that include ranked-choice voting and remove language from the state constitution that includes slavery and involuntary servitude as a form of criminal punishment. If passed in November, the voter ID measure would also have to be approved by voters in 2026 to amend the state constitution.
