A citizen-backed Voter ID initiative has officially qualified for the November 3, 2026 General Election ballot.
The Secretary of State’s office confirmed today that the Voter ID and Citizenship Verification Initiative (Proposition 1984) has officially qualified for the November 3, 2026 General Election ballot after grassroots warriors delivered a staggering 962,106 valid signatures, blowing past the required threshold of 874,641 with room to spare.
This was a true grassroots effort led by Reform California, Assemblymember Carl DeMaio (R-San Diego), and state Sen. Tony Strickland. Thousands of dedicated volunteers braved the leftist strongholds, the harassment, and the endless Democrat propaganda to get this done.
A proposal that would require California to verifyproof of citizenshipwhen a person registers to vote — and require voters to provide identification at polling places — will appear onthe November ballot, state officials announced Friday.
The announcement comes amid anational debate over election securityand what type of requirements voters should face to show they are qualified to cast a ballot. In Congress, Republicans arepushing a strict proof-of-citizenship proposalfor residents to vote, encouraged by President Donald Trump.
The California plan — also backed by Republicans — is being pitched as a common sense idea to strengthen confidence in voting in a vast state with more than 23 million people registered to cast a ballot. State officials said its backers submitted sufficient petition signatures to qualify for the November ballot.
“We already show ID for everyday activities like flying, opening a bank account and picking up prescription medications. Thirty-six other states and many countries around the world already use voter ID,” said state Sen. Tony Strickland, a Republican from Huntington Beach.
“Californians deserve secure, transparent elections,” added Strickland, a proponent of the proposal.
If approved in November in the heavily Democratic state, other provisions would require those who vote through popular mail-in ballots would have to give the last four digits of a government-issued ID, such as a Social Security number.
