Our call — vote YES
The measure
Question 7 is a citizen-initiated constitutional amendment on Nevada's November 3, 2026 ballot. Voting in person would require photo identification: a driver's license, a state or federal government ID, a government-employee ID, a passport, a military ID, a Nevada public college student ID, a tribal ID, or a Nevada concealed firearms permit — current, or expired within the last four years (for voters 70 and older, any expiration date counts if the ID is otherwise valid). Voting by mail would require the last four digits of the voter's driver's license or Social Security number, or a clerk-provided number for voters with neither. Nevada voters approved the amendment in 2024 by 73%; as a constitutional amendment it must pass again in 2026.
What YES does
A yes vote completes ratification of a photo ID requirement covering both in-person and mail voting, with a wide list of acceptable IDs.
What NO does
A no vote leaves Nevada without a constitutional voter ID requirement.
The math
No fiscal note for this measure was published on its Ballotpedia page.
OUR CALL
Our call: YES.
Nevadans already voted for this once, by nearly three to one, and the design answers the usual objections: the list of acceptable IDs is long, recently expired IDs still work, seniors' IDs never expire for this purpose, and mail voters can verify with four digits instead of a card. Verifying that the person voting is the person registered is the minimum condition of an election worth trusting. Finish the job — vote yes.

Vote early. Research your candidates. Choose the best moderates, whatever their party — no extremism from either side. And encourage your friends and family to do the same.
