Voter identification, election administration, and campaign finance
Official title: Election Requirements
A Yes vote
Require government-issued voter ID in every election, including mail voting, and change ballot counting options, campaign finance rules and court review of election laws.
A No vote
Keep the current constitutional provisions governing elections.
Details that matter
Voters would have the option to have their ballot counted at their voting location on Election Day. The proposal adds state restrictions on foreign-national election spending similar to federal restrictions, sets a court-review standard that may make election laws harder to challenge, and requires funding to implement the changes.

No
A “no” vote shall have the effect of maintaining current constitutional provisions governing elections.
