Idaho local elections Nov. 8: What's on the ballot

If you have not voted since the May 17 primary, there’s a good chance your polling place has changed. Make sure to double check your information and registration status on the Idaho Secretary of State’s official voting information website. Congressional and legislative districts were also redrawn for this year’s elections, starting with the primary. The redistricting commission’s final report is posted here. View the congressional district map here, and to find your legislative district, click here for the legislative district look-up tool.

• Friday, Oct. 14: Last day to pre-register to vote (5 p.m. at county clerk’s office or 11:59 p.m. online at voteidaho.gov)
• Friday, Oct. 28: Last day for registered voters to request an absentee ballot.
• Friday, Nov. 4: Last day for early or in-person absentee voting
• Tuesday, Nov. 8: Election Day; polls open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

If you have missed the deadline to pre-register, you may register at your polling place on Election Day. Voter identification requirements and information about registering at your polling place are available here.

Early in-person voting begins Oct. 24 in the counties that offer it, and will be offered Monday through Friday, ending Nov. 4. Early voting will take place at a small number of locations, such as county elections offices and city halls, rather than each precinct's regular polling place.

If you have more questions, contact your county clerk or elections office.
