BOISE — Idaho’s chief election officer on Wednesday gathered with county clerks from around the state to urge Idahoans to vote with confidence this November.
“There’s been so many questions regarding elections over the past four years and beyond, and one of the things we wanted to do was come together as a group to reiterate to Idahoans our commitment to the integrity, the security, and the accessibility of our elections,” Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane said at the press conference outside the Capitol.
McGrane and the county clerks stood on the Capitol steps to unveil a letter signed by all the election officials to show their shared commitment to conducting secure elections and to share the steps the state takes to accomplish this.
McGrane told the Idaho Press that, in a recent meeting regarding elections with community leaders, the office was encouraged to share the election security steps that are taken, as many people were unaware of them.
Power County Clerk Sharee Sprague highlighted the accessibility of voting and finding voter information at voteidaho.gov . On the website, Idahoans may register to vote, find a personalized sample ballot by entering a name and date of birth, and request an absentee ballot.
