Results: States decide on voter ID and redistricting ballot measures
Developed over time first seen 3 hours ago
Voters in several US states are deciding ballot measures that could change how people prove their identity when voting and who can draw congressional districts. California and Nevada are considering new identification requirements for in-person and postal voting, while Colorado is considering an identification-number requirement for postal ballots. Arizona, North Carolina and Ohio are voting on proposals that would put voting rules into their state constitutions. Other measures address whether state or local elections should be limited to US citizens.
Redistricting questions could shape congressional elections after 2026. Missouri voters are deciding whether to approve a new congressional map drawn by state lawmakers; a court ruling kept that map from taking effect before the referendum. Maryland voters are considering a constitutional change that could make it easier to redraw congressional districts, while Colorado voters are weighing limits on redistricting between censuses. The sources available at the time of writing establish what is on the ballot, but do not verify the outcomes of these votes, so no measure can yet be reported here as passed or defeated.
