If you can’t vote on Election Day at your polling place here are two alternatives.

Vote By Mail

Registered voters may request a ballot be mailed to them up to 6 days before an election. A request for a Primary Ballot must be received by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 21, 2008. The Absentee Ballot must be received at the Election’s Office by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day, May 27, 2008.

In Idaho, you may submit a request for absentee ballot for multiple elections so long as all elections fall with in the same calendar year. All requests must include the voter's name, address, signature, and Election(s) requested. If you wish to request an absentee ballot for an upcoming election, complete and print the absentee request form below. Be sure to sign it and mail it to the Ada County Elections Office at 200 W.
