Idaho Legislature Passes Bill on Candidate Name Changes

On March 28, the Idaho House passed S1514 by a vote of 64-2. This is the bill that says if a candidate changes his or her name before running for office, the ballot should list not only that candidate’s current name, but the candidate’s prior name. This bill was introduced because one of the candidates running for U.S. Senate in this year’s Republican primary legally changed his name to “Pro-Life” last year.

The two legislators who voted “No” are Steven Thayn, a Republican, and Branden Durst, a Democrat.
