H124 removes student IDs as a valid form of voter identification.
The Idaho State Senate passed H124 on March 9, 2023 by a vote of 28 to 7. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because strengthening our voter ID laws is crucial to preserving our election process and election integrity. Article IV, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution provides that “citizens” of the United States “shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities,” such as the “right of citizens of the United States” to vote as prescribed in the 26th Amendment. It would be an infringement on our rights to allow any ineligible elector to vote and student IDs are not sound forms of identification.
