Background

Nevada voters approved Question 7 for a second time on 3 November 2026. On unofficial results at 7:17am on 4 November, with 85.7% reporting, it had 597,624 votes (62.32%) to 361,262 (37.68%), NBC News reported.

The citizen initiative requires voters to show photo identification to vote in person. Mail voters verify their identity with the last four digits of a driver's licence or Social Security number. Nevada requires an initiated constitutional amendment to pass at two consecutive general elections; Question 7 first passed in 2024 with 73.23%.

It passed on the same ballot that delivered Democratic gains in Congress, and with in-person ID also approved in Ohio. Mail-ballot ID measures lost in Arizona, California and Colorado that day.
