FAQ:
- How can I get an absentee ballot?
You may request your absentee ballot online at idahovotes.gov. You may also print and complete a paper absentee ballot request form and mail it to the Ada County Elections Office (400 N Benjamin Ln #100, Boise, ID 83704). The deadline to request your absentee ballot is October 28th at 5:00 PM. - When should I expect my ballot?
The Elections Office is currently mailing out absentee ballots as they are requested. Please give your ballot up to 14 days after you request it to arrive in the mail. - Is the Post Office going to be able to process my absentee ballot this year?
To be safe, you can submit your completed ballot to a secure dropbox (locations above).

The deadline to pre-register to vote is October 9 (5:00 for paper applications, and midnight for online voter registration). After October 9, you will need to register to vote on election day at your polling place.
