BALLOT MEASURES – Amends existing law to require signature gatherers to be qualified electors and to require paid signature gatherers to provide the name of the persons or entities that are paying them on their badge.

H 501 requires all signature gatherers for Idaho ballot initiatives or referendums to be qualified electors (residents aged 18+). For paid signature gatherers specifically, it mandates two key disclosures: verbally informing potential signers who is paying them *before* collecting a signature, and wearing a visible badge stating "paid petition circulator" along with the payor's name. The bill also updates affidavit requirements for paid vs. unpaid gatherers and voids petitions if these disclosure rules are violated. This directly affects anyone gathering signatures for ballot measures in Idaho, aiming to increase transparency about who funds signature collection efforts.
