In-Person Voting Rules in Idaho:
Confirm that you are registered to vote. You can check your voter registration online.
If you are not registered, you can register at your voting location with a photo ID and proof of residence.
Make sure you have what you need to vote. A photo ID or signed affidavit attesting to your identity is required every time you vote. Learn more about registering or updating your registration.
Voting locations are neutral, non-partisan spaces, so do not wear or bring anything to vote that promotes a candidate, issue, or party on the ballot.
Research candidates and issues ahead of time. Many Idaho local media outlets and non-profit groups produce voter guides or survey candidates on the issues. You may bring notes to assist you in the voting booth. Find out what is on your ballot.
