ID Supreme Court affirms new voter registration and ID laws

April 12, 2024 Boise, Idaho – The Idaho Supreme Court upheld the ruling of the Fourth Judicial District Court to dismiss the lawsuit challenging Idaho’s new voter registration requirements brought forward by Babe Vote and the League of Women Voters of Idaho. The Court’s decision affirms the legitimacy of the state’s updated voter registration laws.

The ruling, issued on April 11, 2024, determined that existing Idaho laws concerning voter ID were constitutional and the legislation did not discriminate against a particular group. The requirements aid the “government’s legitimate interest in preserving the integrity of its election process,” according to a summary issued by court staff.
