ELECTIONS – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the filing of declarations of candidacy.

This bill updates Idaho election laws to change how candidates file nomination petitions and what information they must include. It requires candidates to provide contact details like phone numbers and email addresses on their petitions and makes all petition information available to the public upon request. The bill also clarifies filing deadlines, requiring petitions to be submitted between 8:00 a.m. on the twelfth Monday before an election and 5:00 p.m. on the tenth Friday before the election. These changes directly affect candidates running for office in Idaho political subdivisions and the election officials who process their filings.
