S 1049 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

VOTERS – Amends and repeals existing law regarding a voter’s affidavit in lieu of identification.

S 1049 repeals Idaho’s law allowing voters to use an affidavit instead of photo ID at polling places. It removes all references to "personal identification affidavits" from voter registration (Section 34-409), early voting procedures (Section 34-1012), and in-person voting records (Section 34-1106). This change means voters will no longer be able to sign an affidavit to verify their identity; they must present valid photo identification to vote. The bill takes effect January 1, 2026.
