Idaho: Absentee Ballot Requests and Pre-Registration End Oct. 23, Voted Ballots Due by 8 p.m. Nov. 3
With less than two weeks until the Nov. 3 general election, Idaho voters who plan to vote absentee have one day left to request a ballot. Local station 94.7 Buck FM reminded listeners on Oct. 22 that absentee ballot requests must reach the voter's county clerk by 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 23; mailed requests must arrive by the deadline, as a postmark alone is not enough. Voters must be registered before requesting an absentee ballot, and requests can be made online at VoteIdaho.gov or through the county clerk's office.
Oct. 23 is also the pre-registration deadline for online, mail and in-person registration. Eligible voters who miss it can still register and vote at their polling place on Election Day. Completed absentee ballots must reach the county clerk by 8 p.m. on Nov. 3 to be counted. Some counties offer early in-person voting from Oct. 13 to Oct. 30, with times and locations set by each county.
This year's Idaho ballot includes races for governor, attorney general, all 105 state legislative seats and three congressional seats, along with statewide ballot measures and local contests. Voters can check their registration status, polling place and sample ballot at VoteIdaho.gov.
