ELECTIONS – Amends existing law to include the office of the president of the United States into the state primary election and to move the primary election date to the Tuesday following the first Monday in May.

This bill updates Idaho election laws to include the presidential nomination process in state primary elections and shifts the primary date to the Tuesday following the first Monday in May. It requires political party candidates for president to file a $1,000 declaration fee with the secretary of state and establishes procedures for certifying primary results for federal offices. The legislation also limits the number of elections held in any county to two per year, with exceptions for vacancies and emergencies, while exempting water districts from these restrictions.
