By Carl DeMaio โ€“ Reform California โ€“ March 12, 2025 CA Voter ID Initiative Would Pass in โ€œLandslideโ€ in 2026 But It Needs 1M Signatures to Qualify Here's How You Can Help!>> CONTRIBUTE to the CA Voter ID Campaign A new statewide poll in California shows voters in the deep-blue state would still overwhelmingly vote in favor of a Voter ID Initiative in 2026 should one qualify for the ballot! The poll was by Public Opinion Strategies and showed the following: 79% Support Citizenship Verification for Registering to Vote 68% Support Voter ID for Casting a Ballot As reflected in the charts above, the polling showed both concepts enjoy widespread and deep bipartisan support.โ€œThe message from this polling is clear: if Voter ID is put on the 2026 ballot, it would pass in a landslide,โ€ said Carl DeMaio, Reform California Chairman. In December, DeMaio โ€“ who is also a CA State Representative โ€“ introduced the CA Voter ID Initiative in the state legislature. Unfortunately, Sacramento politicians refuse to consider the game-changing reform.Thatโ€™s why DeMaio is asking supporters for help in getting more than 1 million signatures to put the initiative on the ballot for a statewide vote.โ€œI firmly believe a Voter ID law is the best way to restore public trust and confidence in our elections in California โ€” and if we can get enough signatures to qualify the measure for a statewide vote we would win,โ€ DeMaio says.โ€œWe need volunteers to help collect the 1 million signatures we need to qualify for a vote and contributions to cover the hard costs of putting the CA Voter ID Initiative on the ballot,โ€ DeMaio concludes. >> CONTRIBUTE to the CA Voter ID Campaign >> VOLUNTEER: Commit to Help Collect Signatures Key Deadlines We Face in 2025As we work to put it on the 2026 ballot, we face two looming deadlines: DEADLINE 1: May 1, 2025.

The initiative must be filed by this date. DEADLINE 3: October 15, 2025.
