You cannot register to vote if you've been convicted of a felony and have not yet had your civil rights restored. You can register to vote in the Clerk's office at the Boundary County Courthouse, or pick up a mail-in registration form at any courthouse, Sheriffs Office, Health and Welfare Office or Department of Lands Office in Idaho. These forms should be completed and mailed to County Elections Department, P.O. Box 419, Bonners Ferry, ID 83805. Boundary County residents serving on active military duty anywhere in the world can register by mail using mail-in military registration forms, available at any United States military installation. Whether you walk in or mail in to register, the registration form must be in the Clerk's Office or postmarked at least 25 days prior to the election in which you wish to vote.
Voters can also register at the polls prior to casting their ballots.
Information required to register, whether by mail, walk-in or at the polls includes your name, sex, postal and physical address, date of birth and length of residency. Polling sites are subject to change and such changes are posted in the two local newspapers prior to the election. Polling sites are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on election days. Those who cannot get to the polls can cast their vote by absentee ballot. Those wishing to vote absentee can pick up applications for absent elector's ballot at the Clerk's office or by using the link in the left column of this page.
