Gavin Newsom signed SB-1174 to make requiring voter ID illegal.

by

Factcheck: Yes, Governor Newsom signed SB 1174 into law on September 29, 2024. It prohibits local governments in California from requiring voter ID for voting or ballot submission, unless mandated by state or federal law. This was upheld by the California Supreme Court in January 2026, striking down a Huntington Beach voter ID measure. Claims of sanctioned voter fraud are subjective and not supported by official records.
