This bill amends several sections of the Idaho Code related to voter registration and identification requirements. Notably, it repeals Section 34-1114, which pertained to a voter's affidavit in lieu of personal identification. Additionally, it makes technical corrections to Sections 34-409, 34-1012, and 34-1106, including the removal of references to the repealed Section 34-1114 and adjustments to the language regarding personal identification requirements. The bill clarifies that voters must present valid photo identification as specified in Section 34-1113 when voting, eliminating the option to use a personal identification affidavit.

Furthermore, the bill establishes an electronic voter registration system that allows qualified electors with valid driver's licenses or identification cards to register online. It mandates that electronic applications include an electronic signature and ensures that the Secretary of State's office implements security measures to protect the integrity of the registration process. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective on January 1, 2026.
