Where do I vote in Idaho?

Today is Election Day for many Idaho residents, with municipal and some fire district seats up for grabs. There are no statewide elections or ballot measures, so not everyone has a ballot to cast. Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions:

Where do I vote?

At your local polling station, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Each county has a list of polling stations. Kootenai County voters can look up their locations here , and the search engine will also show what’s on that district’s ballot. Voters in other counties can find their polling station on the Secretary of State search engine here .  Enter your address, it will tell you where your polling station is.

Can’t I get a my ballot mailed to me and skip the trip to the polls?

No. Idaho does not have general mail-in voting, and the deadline for requesting an absentee ballot was Oct. 28.

Can I vote if I’m not registered?

Maybe. You would have to be a U.S. citizen who is at least 18 years old and a resident of Idaho for at least 30 days. If you bring proper photo ID, along with dated proof of residence, to your local polling station, you can register and get a ballot.

If I’m not registered, how would I find my polling station?
