An amendment to ensure only American citizens can vote in Idaho elections will be put before state voters in this fall’s general election.
On March 25, House Joint Resolution 5 passed the Idaho Senate on a 28-6-1 vote. It previously passed the House on March 11 by a 63-6-1 vote. That means Idaho voters will decide whether to add citizen-only voting to the state constitution in this November’s General Election.
“Idahoans want safe and reliable elections,” said Rep. Kevin Andrus, who sponsored the legislation. “With the approval of House Joint Resolution 5, we are giving Idahoans a chance to vote for a constitutional amendment that ensures only U.S. citizens can vote in Idaho’s elections.
