What to Know About Question 7 on Nevada’s Ballot

In Nevada, when you register to vote, your signature is kept in the election department’s system; that’s how election workers verify your identity when you cast your ballot. It’s a system that’s worked, as widespread voter fraud is virtually nonexistent in Nevada — or anywhere in the US, for that matter. Yet one question on this year’s ballot could ultimately change that verification process by requiring voters to present a photo ID when casting a ballot in person—or to provide certain personal information to verify their identity when voting by mail ballot. Studies, however, show voter ID laws often lead to reduced turnout among communities of color.
