Ada County Elections, in cooperation with the wider community, encourages everyone to register to vote. Online voter registration in Idaho now makes it quick and easy to register. “We encourage everyone to take a moment to register to vote or update your registration information online ahead of the November Election. Registering online saves time at the polls on Election Day,” said Ada County Clerk, Phil McGrane.
