In the 2023 Legislative Scorecard & Report you'll find in-depth discussions on key ACLU legislative issue areas, and summaries of the highlights (and lowlights) from session.
We hope you also learn about our legislative process, see how your elected officials voted on crucial ACLU policy areas, and feel energized to jump into work.
The ACLU of Idaho legislative scorecard documents the voting patterns of state senators and representatives during the 2023 Idaho Legislative Session. At a glance, you’ll see how your legislators voted on issues like reproductive freedom, free speech, LGBTQ+ equality, reproductive freedom, and criminal legal reform. The votes presented in the Legislative Scorecard are those considered by either the full House or the full Senate. Some bills received votes from the full House but did not get out of committee to be voted on by the full Senate. This is why there are fewer bills listed on the Senate Scorecard.
The Legislative Scorecard is a crucial accountability tool. We encourage you to use this scorecard to give your elected officials feedback on their votes during the 2023 Legislative Session. Direct communication with your elected officials is a valuable way to encourage them to protect our constitutional rights around the issues that are most important to you.
