The Nevada Voter ID Requirement Initiative did not appear on the November 6, 2018, ballot in Nevada as an indirect initiated state statute.
The measure would have required voters who are voting in person to present an identification card to an election officer. An identification card would have been required to include the voter's name, address, date of birth, photograph, and signature. The Nevada Legislature would have selected one or more government entities to issue identification cards for free to registered voters who do not possess a valid identification card.[1]
