Nevada passes voter ID measure
by Jessica Hill · Las Vegas Review-JournalA ballot question calling to implement voter ID received overwhelming support by Nevada voters, passing by about 44 percentage points, The Associated Press called Tuesday night.
Ballot Question 7 passed 72 percent to 28 percent, as of late Tuesday night.
The initiative, which must go before voters again in the 2026 election in order to be implemented, will require voters to show a form of acceptable identification to vote in person during early voting or on Election Day, such as a Nevada driver’s license, a passport, tribal or university ID or another form of government-issued photo ID.
It also will require voters who submit mail-in ballots to verify their identity by providing the last four digits of their Nevada driver’s license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number when signing their ballot envelope.
“This victory is a powerful message from Nevadans who believe that secure elections and transparent voter identification strengthen our democracy,” said David Gibbs, chairman of Repair the Vote PAC, in a statement. “We thank every voter, volunteer, and advocate who contributed to this historic result. Together, we are paving the way for future legislation that safeguards the integrity of Nevada’s elections and the power of every individual vote.”
