Am I eligible to vote in Idaho?
To be eligible to vote in Idaho, you must be a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years of age, a resident of Idaho and the county you plan to vote in for at least 30 days prior to the election, and registered to vote.
When is Idaho's voter registration deadline?
By Mail: October 11, 2024
Online/In-Person: October 11, 2024 (Online)/November 5, 2024 (Person)
Idaho has same-day voter registration so if you fail to register by the deadline, you can register at your polling place if you bring required identification. If you wish to use an absentee ballot, you will need to be registered in advance.
If you are mailing your voter registration form, you will need to include a copy of a current, valid photo ID or a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or government document that shows your name and address.
How do I request an absentee ballot in Idaho?
Idaho residents requesting an absentee ballot can do so using this form. You will need to complete the form, print it, sign it and deliver it to your county clerk's office.
If you wish to have an absentee ballot mailed to you, you must ask the county clerk's office for it by the 11th day before the election.
You can cast an absentee ballot by mail or in person at your polling place (usually your county clerk's office) up until 5 p.m. the Friday before the election.
If you are a military member or are living overseas, use the FVAP website to request an absentee ballot.
What special accommodations are available?
Idaho offers a variety of accommodations for voters with disabilities or illnesses.
If voting in person, you can use an accessible voter assistance terminal. There is one available at every polling place in the state. Using this terminal, visually impaired voters can use headphones to listen to an audio ballot and make their vote selection on a touchscreen or a braille keypad. The terminal also has a zoom feature for those with visual impairments. Learn more about the voting assistance machines available in your county.
Voters can get assistance with marking their ballot by asking a poll worker. If you have difficulty walking or standing and would like to vote from your car, you can request curbside assistance by calling your county clerk in advance. You may also request someone to deliver the ballot to your home.
Voters with special needs often find absentee voting or early voting to be easier. Request an absentee ballot in advance and then mail it from home before Election Day.
