Idaho lawmakers passed measures to push for congressional term limits and eliminate voter affidavits at polls.

Idaho lawmakers advanced two measures on January 29, 2026: Rep. John Shirts introduced a resolution calling for an Article V Convention to impose term limits on Congress, which passed 11-4 in committee, with Idaho joining other states in pushing for a limited convention if Congress does not act. Separately, Sen. Brian Lenney introduced a bill to eliminate voter affidavits at polling places, citing lack of verification, despite low usage—0.27% in 2025—while opponents warn of reduced access for elderly and non-drivers. The affidavit bill passed unanimously in committee.
