3. Governor Brad Little signed a new law that will allow you to get a state ID free of charge. The law will take effect July 1, 2024. Idaho requires voter identification at the polls.
The new law allows young voters who are in or just out of high school who do not have a driver's license to get an ID. It also allows seniors who no longer have a driver's license, the ability to vote with this free ID without having to pay as they would have in the past. This would also allow people without a driver's license to board a flight or access a federal building without a passport or military identification.
