Official pamphlet (PDF): Secretary of State 2026 Voter Pamphlet (PDF)

INCOMPLETE: the official ballot wording is NOT shown. The Secretary of State's 2026 Voter Pamphlet (PDF) could only be read through a text summary, not word for word, so we do not print the ballot title here. Open the pamphlet for the exact wording. The "Today" column, the YES and NO lines and the background below are our summary and have not been checked against official text. The rule for how many votes it takes to pass is not stated in the pamphlet pages we read. News quotes and campaign money figures were not re-checked.

In plain words

This question only asks your opinion. The Legislature would have to pass a law in a future session to name a state gun. (voteidaho.gov (Idaho Secretary of State) )
