Voting and Voter Registration 6/2010
Who can vote?
People aged 18 or over who are U.S. citizens living in Idaho for at least 30 days may vote in the State of Idaho.
Who can not vote?
If you have been convicted of a felony and have not had your civil rights restored or if you are currently confined in a prison on a conviction of a criminal offense, you can not vote.
Do I need to register?
If you have never before voted in Idaho or have had an address or a name change, you will need to register to vote. Once you have registered, your registration is permanent as long as you vote at least once every 4 years in a primary or general election, you do not move, or you do not change your name.
How to obtain an Idaho Voter Registration Form
A Mail-In Voter Registration must be applied for at the County Clerk’s office in the County in which the elector's Idaho residence is.
A Mail-In Voter Registration card can be requested from the County Clerk's office or can be obtained online.
By phone, dial the 2-1-1 Idaho Careline to get contact information for your local County Clerk’s office.
Online, go to www.idahovotes.gov
Where do I go to vote?
Voting locations are selected for each election precinct by the Board of County Commissioners. Election notices are published in local newspapers naming the polling place for each election precinct, the date of election, and the hours during which the polls will be open. County Clerks also have this information.
