Idaho HJR 4 and HJR 6 (2026)
Constitutional amendments checked October 12, 2026. Official yes/no effects cite the Idaho Secretary of State’s Initiatives & Amendments page. Real Impact summary and position are labeled separately.

What does a Yes or No vote on HJR 4 do?
Official (VoteIdaho): A yes vote supports this constitutional amendment to provide that only the Idaho State Legislature shall have the authority to legalize marijuana, narcotics, or other psychoactive substances, and remove the ability for citizens to initiate state statutes that would legalize these substances. A no vote opposes the amendment, retaining the ability for citizens to initiate those statutes.
Is a marijuana legalization initiative on the 2026 ballot?
Official status: No. The Idaho Secretary of State lists the Idaho Medical Cannabis Act and the Decriminalize Cannabis Now Initiative as did not qualify for the November 2026 ballot. The marijuana-related item that is on the ballot is HJR 4, not those initiatives. Proposition 1 is a separate reproductive-freedom initiative — not marijuana.

A no vote opposes adding that constitutional provision (English remains official in statute only). Full text: Idaho Legislature HJR 6. Real Impact position: Vote Yes on HJR 6.
Idaho Legislature
The Idaho Legislature is not currently in session. Between sessions we watch ballot measures, local government, and the issues that will return next year — life, family, religious liberty, parental rights, and biblical values.
