This bill amends Section 34-906 of the Idaho Code concerning ballots for general elections. The primary change involves the removal of a provision that required the secretary of state to provide separate ballot forms for constitutional amendments or other issues during general elections. The updated law will now mandate a single general election ballot that includes the complete ticket of each political party, along with the option for write-in candidates, while maintaining the order of office titles as determined by the secretary of state.

Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2026. This change aims to streamline the voting process by consolidating the ballot format, thereby simplifying the election procedure for voters and election officials alike.
