Question 7

Require Voter Identification Initiative

On the ballot

Nevada · November 2026 general election · Constitutional amendment · Election day November 3, 2026
Topics: Civil rights, Elections and voting

In plain language

Question 7 would write a voter identification requirement into the Nevada Constitution. Voters in person would show a government-issued photo ID — such as a driver's license, passport, military or tribal card, Nevada public college student ID, or concealed-firearm permit — current or expired no more than four years, with no expiration limit for voters aged 70 and older. Mail voters would provide the last four digits of their driver's license or Social Security number. Nevada currently verifies identity largely by signature matching. Voters approved the amendment in 2024 with 73.2 percent, and a second approval is required.

What opponents say

  • The Nevada Voter Freedom Alliance, formed by Battle Born Progress, opposes the measure, and in 2024 sample-ballot arguments opponents cited data that nearly 21 percent of voting-age Americans lack a valid driver's license showing their current name and address.
  • Silver State Voices, a nonpartisan civic engagement coalition, opposes the measure and points to rural and tribal voters who would need to travel long distances to a DMV office to obtain qualifying identification.
  • Opponents argue the requirement is difficult to adjust once placed in the Constitution.
