Ballots sent out include an instruction insert that say voters need to provide the last four digits of their driver’s license, state ID or Social Security number in order for their ballot to count, but there is no place on the ballot to provide the four digits.

The county announced on social media that the ID information is not necessary, and that only a valid signature is needed.

A state law requiring voters to include their last four digits of their ID will go into effect in 2026, and County Clerk Aaron Davidson decided to try the new system during the primary elections, according to County Commissioner Skyler Beltran.

In the primary election, voters were given an option to include the last four digits of their ID, though it was not required.

Beltran said Davidson chose to discontinue the trial period for the general election and removed it from the ballot because he did not like “some of the integrity of the system and process.”

But instructions insert was not rewritten due to cost concerns.

“He had quoted me — it was like $69,000 to reprint the instructions, which obviously he doesn’t have in his budget,” Beltran said.
