Election officials from across the state gathered on the front steps of the Idaho State Capitol in Boise on Wednesday to publicly pledge that elections are secure and encourage Idahoans to vote in the Nov. 5 general election.

During the event, Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane unveiled a letter to voters signed by all 44 county clerks pledging to make voting in Idaho easy, secure and accurate.

“As the elected leaders responsible for conducting elections in every corner of our great state, we are united in a shared commitment to ensuring the accessibility, integrity and security of Idaho’s elections,” the letter states. “While each county in Idaho may differ in size, geography and population, one thing remains constant: your right to a secure and transparent elections process.”
