2024 Nevada Question 7 was a constitutional amendment for the state of Nevada in the United States that sought to amend the constitution to require that Nevada residents present a form of photo ID to verify their identity while voting in person, or to verify their identity using the last four digits of their driver's license or social security number when voting by mail.[1]
The question appeared on the November 5th, 2024 ballot in Nevada and was approved with 73.23% voting Yes.[2] As Question 7 was approved in 2024, a second vote will be held on November 3, 2026.[3][a]
Background
[edit]The constitutional amendment was initially proposed by Repair the Vote PAC, who collected the (then) minimum of 135,561 signatures required to undergo the signature validation process and be put on the ballot.[1]
The campaign for stricter voter ID laws grew with Nevada's expansion of voter access in recent years, namely the introduction of automatic voter registration, universal mail ballots and other policies designed to make it easier for people to participate in elections.[1]
Question 7 language
[edit]"Should the Nevada Constitution be amended to require voters to either present photo identification to verify their identity when voting in-person or to provide certain personal information to verify their identity when voting by mail ballot?"[3]
