Lawerence Denney, Idaho’s secretary of state, said activists had collected the 56,192 signatures required to place the measure on the ballot.

Utah voters will also be able to vote on Medicaid expansion in November, and activists in Nebraska and Montana are pushing to get the measure on ballots in those states as well.
