AI Summary
This bill amends existing Idaho law to prohibit "ballot harvesting," which is the practice of collecting or conveying another voter's voted or unvoted ballot. The bill provides certain exceptions, such as for election officials, postal workers, common carrier employees, and individuals who are related to or live with the voter or are the voter's caregiver. The bill also establishes penalties, making it a felony if the person was paid to collect and convey the voter's ballot or if the total number of ballots collected and conveyed in violation of the law is 10 or more. Any other violation is a misdemeanor.
