H 324 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

UNITED STATES SENATORS – Amends existing law to revise a provision regarding how the vacancy of a United States Senator is filled.

H 324 revises Idaho law to clarify how vacancies in the U.S. Senate seat are filled. If a vacancy occurs within 30 days of a general election, the governor must appoint a temporary replacement to serve until the next general election, without holding a special election. The bill also updates election law to specify that U.S. Senate vacancy elections follow the governor’s proclamation. This change directly affects Idaho’s process for filling Senate vacancies, particularly when they arise near election timing.
