VOTE EARLY
Your county sets the days. Look yours up: voteidaho.gov/county-clerk
Early voting is up to each county. The 2026 calendar says early voting may begin October 13 in counties that choose to offer it, and in-person absentee and early voting ends at 5 p.m. on October 30. Check with your county clerk for locations and hours.
Register by Friday, October 23

My day
What to bring
- Idaho driver’s license or identification card
- U.S. Passport or Federal photo Identification card
- Tribal Identification card
- Concealed weapons license issued by a county sheriff in Idaho
No ID? A registered voter may sign a Personal Identification Affidavit instead of presenting photo identification, giving name and address and swearing to their identity under penalty of perjury. The voter is then issued a ballot counted with all other ballots.
If the line is long
If you are in line to vote by 8 p.m. on Election Day, you may vote, even after polls close.
If they turn you away, ask for a provisional ballot.
