Sign the Petition

What the CA Voter ID Initiative Does:

The California Voter ID Initiative is a state constitutional amendment being proposed to impose a Voter ID requirement for all future elections in California. Because the proposal is a constitutional amendment, once approved by the voters, state politicians will be compelled to comply with it for all future elections – no exceptions. Here’s what it requires:

1. Photo ID to Vote

Voters would provide a government issued ID for in-person voting or provide last four digits  of a government ID for voting by mail.

2. Verification of Citizenship

Election officials would be required to verify that only eligible individuals are registered to vote and receive ballots. Citizenship must be verified.

4 Reasons to Sign the CA Voter ID Petition:

  1. Makes Sure CA Elections are Fair
      For years, people have had doubts about the fairness and integrity of our elections. Polling shows that if we implement Voter ID, their confidence in elections will be increased —improving the sense of fairness.
  2. Makes CA Elections More Accessible
      A lot of voters have forgotten how they signed their name when registering to vote. By moving to the last 4 digits of a government-issued ID for verification, this provides everyone with an easy PIN number to vote with more confidence. While opponents say Voter ID makes it harder to vote if you're economically disadvantaged, this proposal requires that every person shall be provided a free ID upon request for voting.
  3. Broad Bipartisan support
      Opponents say Voter ID is racist and suppresses vote, but minorities actually support Voter ID at greater rates than white voters. U.S. courts have also routinely ruled that Voter ID is not racist.
  4. Lets the People Decide
      By signing this initiative, you're merely saying you want the people to vote on this proposal in the 2026 election.

Read the Initiative Text
Politicians and the media will keep denying the fact that California has real problems with election integrity, but the message from the public is loud and clear in support of requiring Voter ID as the best way to restore public trust and confidence in our elections.

– CA State Rep. Carl DeMaio, Reform California Chairman, Proponent of CA Voter ID Initiative

There is a cancer growing in our democracy where too many people have lost confidence in our elections – and enacting a Voter ID law should be seen as the best bipartisan solution to this problem.

– CA State Senator Tony Strickland, Proponent of CA Voter ID Initiative

Support for voter ID laws transcends party lines—it’s not a Republican or Democratic issue. Polls consistently show that majorities of Republicans, Democrats, and independents favor these measures … Voter ID is simply a common-sense policy. California needs to modernize its elections to align with the vast majority of the world’s democracies. While our state leads in so many areas, it lags behind on this issue. It’s time for California to catch up and enact voter ID laws.

– Julie Luckey, Director of Californians for Voter ID
