Although many registered voters may have already done their civic duty and voted early, the majority of people will likely be hitting their local polling locations today. So for those looking for information, here’s what you’ll need to do in order to vote:
First of all, if you’re unsure if you’re even registered to vote, you should go to voteidaho.gov to check your registration status.
If you are not registered, you’ll be able to do that at your polling place, which you can also find at voteidaho.gov. But you’ll need to have your photo ID, like a driver's license, passport, tribal card, or a Concealed Weapon License that was issued by an Idaho County Sheriff; and proof of residency like a bank statement, utility bill, mortgage or lease, or letter of enrollment from an Idaho high school or university.
