Does it in any way restrict public access to information related to government activity or otherwise compromise government transparency, accountability, or election integrity? Conversely, does it increase public access to information related to government activity or increase government transparency, accountability, or election integrity?

House Bill 54 would amend 34-1113, Idaho Code, to repeal subsection 4, which allows "a current student identification card" to be used as a form of ID when voting at the polls. This change should improve the security of elections by requiring voters to present a form of ID that includes critical information such as address and birthdate, which might not be included on a student ID.

House Bill 54 would repeal Section 34-1114, Idaho Code, which allows voters to complete an affidavit in lieu of showing personal identification when voting at the polls. This change should improve the security of elections by finally implementing a true voter ID requirement in Idaho rather than providing loopholes for less secure alternatives.
