H 377 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

RECALL ELECTIONS – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the recall of city council members elected by district.

H 377 amends Idaho's recall election law to change signature requirements for removing city council members elected by district. It revises Section 34-1702 to require recall petitions for these council members to collect signatures from 20% of registered voters in the specific district they represent - not the entire city - as calculated at the last district election. This change directly affects residents in cities with district-based council elections, making the signature threshold more precise to the affected district. The bill became law on March 28, 2025, after being signed by the governor.
