The public is invited to attend the event, tour the new facility, and see firsthand the enhancements made to better serve voters and election operations.

The $3.6 million (previously stated as $4.7 million, this project was completed under budget), 16,500-square-foot facility was funded through federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds and was designed to meet the growing needs of Canyon County. The new building significantly expands space for early voting, election training, and secure ballot processing, ensuring a more efficient and accessible elections process.

In May, during the groundbreaking, Canyon County Clerk Rick Hogaboam emphasized the importance of this new facility, highlighting its role in safeguarding fair and secure elections. “Canyon County is the second-largest county in the state, and as our population grows, so does the need for a modernized elections office that can properly serve our voters,” said Hogaboam. “This building is a testament to our commitment to election integrity and voter accessibility.”

Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony, guests will have the opportunity to tour the facility and learn more about the improvements designed to enhance election operations.

The Board of Canyon County Commissioners is pleased to announce the grand opening of the new Canyon County Elections Building on February 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM at 5801-B Graye Lane in Caldwell.
