Voting in Idaho: How to register

If these forms of ID are not available or up to date, visit the Idaho DMV at https://itd.idaho.gov/dmv/.

Individuals facing homelessness or who do not drive can receive a free state ID from their local DMV.

Idahoans eligible to vote may also submit a Voter Registration Application in person or by mail to their county clerk.

If the May 8 deadline is missed, voters can register in person on Election Day. To register in person, a current photo ID and proof of residence are required. Individuals should register using their primary residence.

Acceptable forms of photo ID and proof of residence:

Voters may need to update their voter registration if they have moved, changed their name, or have not voted in the past four years.

This process will be the same as registering for the first time.
