Become a Poll Worker Today

It’s never too early to help democracy! By signing up to be a poll worker, you can ensure that all voters—including voters with disabilities, voters who need language assistance, and voters who want to cast their ballot in person—have a positive experience at the polls. Sign up today!

To be eligible to vote, you must be:

  • A US citizen
  • A resident of Idaho and in the county for 30 days before Election Day
  • At least 18 years old before or on Election Day
  • Not convicted of a felony. (If you have been convicted, you must have had your civil rights restored)

Incarcerated Voters & Returning Citizens: 

In Idaho, you are not eligible to vote until after you finish all parts of your sentence, including any probation, parole, or supervised release. At that time, you can register to vote. Pretrial detention and misdemeanor convictions do not restrict your voting rights. 

Voters without traditional residence: 

Idaho voters who do not have a permanent address or are currently experiencing homelessness have the option to provide a location where they typically stay or return to when absent as their address for voter registration. This can include the
address of a shelter they frequent or a description of a specific location, such as a park or street corner. If the individual does not receive postal service at their residence address, they may provide a separate mailing address, including the number, street, city, state, and zip code. The mailing address on their registration form can be a P.O. box, local shelter, advocacy organization, outreach center, or the home of someone who will accept mail for them.
