Sen. Brian Lenney wants to repeal a part of state law that lets registered voters sign an affidavit to prove their identity in order to vote.
The Nampa Republican proposed the bill Wednesday to the Senate State Affairs Committee, the Idaho Capital Sun reports.
Current law allows registered voters to present a signed affidavit as an alternative to photo identification at the polls.
Still, not that many voters use the affidavit method, according to numbers Lenney highlighted before the committee.
A similar bill Lenney introduced last year never received a hearing.
