ELECTIONS – Adds to existing law to require certain disclosures by individuals engaged in paid in-person canvassing activities.

H 735 requires individuals paid to conduct in-person political outreach (like door-to-door campaigning) to disclose their compensation and employer. Specifically, these canvassers must verbally state they're paid and name their employer, wear a visible "paid political advocate" badge, and meet basic voter eligibility requirements (including a 30-day Idaho residency for under-18s). The law excludes volunteers, incidental campaign staff, phone banking efforts, and candidates promoting their own campaigns. Violations could result in civil fines up to $250 for individuals or enforcement through the Secretary of State’s complaint system. The bill takes effect July 1, 2026.
