Assemblyman Tangipa Proposing Voter ID Ballot Measure

Mother Lode Republican Assemblyman David Tangipa is among a group that launched a campaign this week to place a voter ID measure on the 2026 California ballot.

If passed, it would require that state election officials verify proof of citizenship when a person registers to vote, and for people to show ID when voting at the polls. Those who vote by mail would have to provide the last four digits of a government ID, such as a Social Security number.
