ELECTIONS – Amends existing law to remove a provision regarding the preparation of ballots for general elections.

This bill amends Idaho election law to remove a specific provision related to ballot preparation for general elections. The change affects the secretary of state, who will now have updated authority over how general election ballots are designed and printed. The revised law maintains that all candidates from each political party appear on a single ballot while allowing for write-in candidates and separate ballots for constitutional amendments or other issues. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2026, and was signed into law by the President and transmitted to the Governor.
