Vote By Mail Petition OK’d

A group led by former Democratic congressional candidate Larry Grant will try to get 51,000 signatures to give voters a chance to allow Idahoans to vote by mail. The petition was cleared by state officials this week, Grant said. Proponents say it will boost participation in the electoral process because it makes voting easier. Opponents say it could make voting ripe for fraud and abuse/Idaho Statesman.

Question: Will you sign a petition to help get a Vote By Mail measure on the 2012 ballot?
