In a significant victory for election integrity advocates, the Nevada Supreme Court has unanimously approved a voter ID ballot initiative to advance towards the November ballot. This decision reaffirmed a district court’s ruling that the initiative did not impose unfunded mandates and that the petition’s description accurately portrayed its intent.

The initiative, aimed at amending the Nevada Constitution to mandate voters to present valid identification when casting their ballots in person, received strong support from the state’s highest court. “The description of effect addresses the primary objective of the Initiative and its intended effects,” concluded the Nevada Supreme Court.

The legal challenge to the initiative was spearheaded by attorneys Bradley Schrager, Scott Gilles, and the Elias Law Group, representing plaintiff Jennifer Fleischmann Willoughby, who serves as the Director Of Development for Make The Road Nevada. Make The Road Nevada is known for its advocacy on immigration issues and community organizing efforts within the immigrant community in Nevada.

With aspirations to reach the required number of signatures for the November ballot deadline, Repair The Vote remains committed to ensuring that Nevada voters have a say in enhancing election safeguards.
