SPOKANE, Wash. — We are just 48 days away from election day in both Idaho and Washington, and Tuesday is National Voter Registration Day!
In Washington, you can register to vote any time, even on election day — November 5. Counties will start sending mail-in ballots on October 18. You can register or check your status here.
Washington State passed a new law in 2022 allowing people convicted of a felony to vote again as long as they are not currently serving a prison sentence.
Last year, Idaho Governor Brad Little signed an official proclamation recognizing the day and is encouraging people to register to vote. Maybe you moved recently, changed your name, turned 18, or maybe you just aren’t sure if you are still registered. You can register or check your status here.
Idahoans can register for early voting between October 21 and November 1, and can cast that early vote anytime between that window.
If you're voting in person in Idaho, you can register to vote anytime, even on election day — November 5. You will need a current photo ID and proof of residence to register in Idaho.
