...bring your ID to vote. The case was whether student ID's could be used to vote. That's a 'no' because they aren't uniform enough to be used to prove residency.

Idaho Supreme Court upholds voter ID law in 5-0 decision
TIMESNEWS 10 hrs ago
In a press release April 11, it said the Idaho Supreme Court upheld Idaho's voter ID law in a 5-0 decision and affirmed in full the district court's decision from last October in Babe Vote and League of Women Voters of Idaho v. Phil McGrane.
Idaho's challenged law states that student identification cards are not valid identification when it comes to registering to vote, citing a lack of uniformity and sophistication.
"This is a strong victory for election security and the minimum standards that must be met in order to vote," said Attorney General Raúl Labrador in the press release.
"The Idaho legislature took steps to improve our election security, but rather than encouraging young people to obtain their free state voter IDs, advocacy groups took legal action against the State, alleging age discrimination. We are pleased with this victory but acknowledge liberal advocacy groups are bringing similar claims in Federal court, and we will continue to defend these laws."
The Idaho Supreme Court affirmed in the ruling that, "House Bills 124 and 340 are reasonable exercises of the legislature's authority to enact conditions on the right of suff rage under Article VI, section 4 of the Idaho Constitution."
