Nevada Ratifies Constitutional Amendment Requiring Voter Identification

Nevada voters approved Question 7 for the second time, ratifying a constitutional amendment that requires voters to present identification when voting in person and provide identifying information when voting by mail. The amendment passed with 94% of the vote counted, completing the process required for a citizen-initiated constitutional amendment in the state. David Gibbs, Chairman of Repair The Vote PAC, stated that the amendment reflects a bipartisan consensus among Nevadans.

The constitutional amendment mandates new identification requirements for voting, which establishes a durable requirement for election administration in Nevada. David Gibbs noted that Governor Joe Lombardo's support was crucial to the effort to pass the Voter ID requirement.
