ELECTIONS – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding certain election deadlines and the filling of certain vacancies.

This Idaho bill (H 278) revises multiple election deadlines and procedures across various local elections. It affects candidates, county clerks, and election officials by changing filing deadlines for declarations of candidacy (e.g., for magistrates, highway district commissioners, and library trustees), canvassing timelines, and vacancy procedures for political party slates. Key provisions include adjusting registration deadlines, technical corrections to election codes, and repealing one outdated section. The changes apply to county, municipal, recreation, library, and highway district elections, with an effective date of July 1, 2025.
