Idahoans Won’t Get To Vote On Legalizing Medical Cannabis This Fall

Jul 16, 2026 | Feature, National

Idaho voters will not get to choose this year if they want to make medical cannabis legal across the state.

The Secretary of State’s Office said Tuesday that an initiative that would have put the question before voters did not garner enough signatures to make it on the November ballot. To make the ballot, initiatives must get signatures from 6% of registered voters, which is over 70,000, and they must include at least 6% of voters in 18 of Idaho’s 35 legislative districts.
