Affidavit option for voters without ID

Beginning July 1, 2026, a voter who cannot show the required ID can complete an affidavit instead. The affidavit must be on a form from the Secretary of State. It must list the voter’s name and address, plus either date of birth or Idaho driver’s license or ID card number. The voter must sign it. Election judges must verify the affidavit information against voter registration before giving a ballot. Knowingly giving false, erroneous, or inaccurate information on the affidavit is a felony.
