Two new groups have formed on opposite sides of the Nevada voter ID ballot question , heating up the political fight about an issue likely to be among the most competitive questions on the 2024 ballot.
Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo announced Thursday that he will be chairing a group called the Nevada Voter ID Coalition focused on passing the ballot question that would require voters to provide proof of their identities when voting either via mail or in-person.
Meanwhile, Battle Born Progress — a progressive group — launched a PAC called the Nevada Voter Freedom Alliance opposing the initiative. Both PACs were registered last month with the secretary of state’s office, but had not been publicized until Thursday.
The announcements of the new PACs — exactly two months before Election Day — indicate that the partisan fight over voter ID will heat up in the home stretch of this election cycle. If a majority of voters support the question this year, it would be placed on the 2026 ballot, when another affirmative vote would amend Nevada’s Constitution.
