Idaho Supreme Court Tells State to Rewrite Abortion Measure Ballot Summary
The Idaho Supreme Court has ordered the state to revise the ballot summary language for an abortion measure headed to voters in November, siding with a pro-choice group that challenged the wording, according to blackchronicle.com. The court found the existing summary was poorly worded and directed the state to correct it before the election.
The abortion measure is scheduled to appear on the November 2026 ballot. The court’s ruling means state officials must produce new language that more accurately reflects the measure’s content before voters go to the polls.
