The L&A test, conducted at the Canyon County Elections Office, rigorously verifies all aspects of the tabulation programming, confirming the operational readiness of the election system equipment. This test assesses candidate positions, offices, and measures, including undervote, write-in, and overvote capabilities, as well as the system’s reporting functions.

Reminders for Canyon County Voters Ahead of the November 5 Presidential Election:

  • Early, In-Person Voting until November 1: Early in-person voting is available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at three locations:
    • Idaho Hispanic Community Center (315 Stampede Dr., Nampa)
    • Caldwell Elks Lodge (1015 N. Kimball Ave., Caldwell)
    • Southwest District Health (13307 Miami Ln., Caldwell)

Registration is available during in-person early voting, and any qualified elector in Canyon County may vote at any of these locations. Also, if you haven’t registered you will still be able to do so on Election Day. To register to vote in person, you will need a current photo ID and proof of residence. Register to vote using your primary Idaho residence.

  • Absentee Ballot Return Deadline: Absentee ballots must be returned to the Canyon County Elections Office by 8 p.m. on November 5. Voters are highly encouraged to submit their ballots early to avoid delays. It’s advised that if you haven’t gotten it in the mail by October 30 you may want to hand carry it to the Elections Office to get it there on time.
  • Hand-Marked Ballot Option: Early voting and Election Day locations will offer a new print-on-demand ballot option, allowing voters the choice to mark their ballots by hand.
  • Sample Ballots: Sample ballots are available at https://VoteIdaho.gov. Voters are encouraged to review sample ballots ahead of time to come prepared because with the length of the ballot and projected attendance on Election Day people need to be informed or else there may be long waits in some polling locations.

The Canyon County Elections Office remains dedicated to conducting fair, secure, and transparent elections, encouraging all eligible voters to participate in the democratic process.
