爱达荷州投票日：生殖自由1号提案与州长、参议员选举同决
11月3日，爱达荷州选民迎来大选投票日，全州投票站从上午8时开放至晚上8时，选民将决定州长、联邦参议员、联邦众议员等职位以及多项州级议题。其中最受关注的是第1号提案，即《生殖自由与隐私法案》倡议。该提案由“爱达荷妇女与家庭联合会”征集超过11万个签名后进入选票，提议把直至胎儿可存活期以及医疗紧急情况下的堕胎决定权写入州法，同时涵盖避孕、生育治疗和流产护理等生殖健康决定。
现行法律是全美最严格的堕胎禁令之一，仅在挽救孕妇生命或强奸、乱伦情形下允许例外，支持与反对双方围绕该提案展开激烈争论。州长选举中，寻求第三任期的共和党现任州长布拉德·利特尔对阵民主党律师特丽·皮肯斯；联邦参议员选举中，寻求第四任期的共和党现任议员吉姆·里施对阵无党派前州议员托德·阿基利斯。
州务卿办公室此前已向全州家庭寄出约85万份官方选民手册，并提醒选民提前在VoteIdaho.gov核对登记信息和样本选票，按时投票。

Idaho Election Day: Voters Decide Reproductive-Freedom Proposition 1 Alongside Governor and Senate Races
Idaho polls were open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on November 3, as voters decided the governorship, a U.S. Senate seat, U.S. House races and several statewide questions. The most closely watched measure was Proposition 1, the Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act initiative, placed on the ballot by Idahoans United for Women and Families after collecting more than 110,000 signatures. It would write into state law the right to make abortion decisions up to fetal viability and in medical emergencies, along with reproductive-health decisions including contraception, fertility treatment and miscarriage care. Idaho's current law is among the nation's strictest abortion bans, allowing exceptions only to save the pregnant woman's life or in cases of rape and incest, and both sides campaigned intensely. In the governor's race, Republican incumbent Brad Little, seeking a third term, faced Democratic attorney Terri Pickens; in the Senate race, Republican Jim Risch, seeking a fourth term, faced unenrolled former state lawmaker Todd Achilles. The Secretary of State mailed about 850,000 official voter guides to households and urged voters to check registration and sample ballots at VoteIdaho.gov.
