The proposed bill amends Chapter 4, Title 34 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 34-402A, which establishes strict citizenship requirements for voters in Idaho. It states that only citizens of the United States are permitted to vote in any public elections, including primary, general, and local elections, as well as votes on constitutional amendments and ballot initiatives. The bill mandates that the Secretary of State verify the citizenship status of all individuals on the statewide voter registration list by utilizing data from the Idaho transportation department and the Help America Vote verification system, among other databases.

Additionally, the bill outlines procedures for removing individuals from the voter registration list if their citizenship status cannot be confirmed. Those affected will be notified and given the opportunity to provide proof of citizenship to be reinstated. Starting July 1, 2025, all voter registration applications must include a confirmed citizenship status before being accepted. The bill also establishes penalties for individuals who willfully attempt to vote without being qualified, classifying such actions as a crime. An emergency clause is included, making the act effective on the specified date.
