Not registered? You can register online using the Idaho Secretary of State’s website, voteidaho.gov, until Friday, February 17, at midnight. If you miss the online-voter registration window, you can register at your designated polling place on Election Day. Bring a photo ID card and a piece of mail with your name and physical address.

Step 2: View your sample ballot

Be prepared when you cast your vote by discovering what will be on the ballot for the upcoming election. Sample ballots can be viewed on this webpage or at the Elections Office.
