Question 7: what your vote means
Voter identification. On every Nevada ballot. Official sources checked October 21, 2026.
Question 7 · Initiated constitutional amendment (second approval)
Voter identification
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?
Ballot question (condensation) as published by the Nevada Secretary of State.
A YES vote means:
In-person voters would have to show an accepted photo ID, and mail voters would have to provide the last four digits of their driver’s license or Social Security number, or another assigned number, to verify their identity.
A NO vote means:
The Nevada Constitution stays as it is, and voters would continue to need ID only in limited situations under current law.
What it would change
- Who is affected: all Nevada voters and county election officials.
- Accepted ID: includes a Nevada driver’s license, state or federal ID, passport, military, tribal, or Nevada public college student ID, and others the Legislature may approve.
- Timing: if approved again, the Legislature could pass related laws in 2027 for the 2028 elections.
- Fiscal impact: The Legislative Counsel Bureau estimates about $6,750 to update voter systems before 2028; the cost of free alternative identification for voters who need it cannot be determined.
