One standard ballot for Idaho voters

Beginning July 1, 2026, Idaho uses one general election ballot that lists each party’s full ticket. The Secretary of State designs the ballot to allow write-in choices. Offices appear in order, starting with the highest federal office. When constitutional amendments or other issues are on the ballot, voters get a separate form for those questions.
