RS31151C1 / S1290
Idaho elections are consolidated to three dates. However, the administrative deadlines county clerks must follow leading up to an election vary across the hundreds of Idaho elected offices ranging from cemetery districts to statewide elected officials. The purpose of this legislation is to standardize the dates and deadlines that county clerks follow in preparing and implementing elections.
This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government nor does it cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government therefore the legislation has no fiscal impact.
