Summary
The bill directs Idaho’s Secretary of State to prescribe the design and content of all election ballots and related documents, ensuring uniform placement of statewide offices and district‑specific listings for legislative races. It also requires the order of candidate names on ballots to be rotated based on voter registration size or by a random alphabet, and limits candidates from appearing on multiple partisan or judicial races.
