Your ballot will include jobs from president to county commissioner. Who’s running

When you go to vote this fall, you’ll have a lot of options on your ballot.

Idahoans will be able to vote for president and elect three of the state’s four federal legislators, along with several county-level officers. In Ada County, some voters will pick Ada County Highway District commissioners. State legislators are up for election, a state constitutional amendment is on the ballot, and magistrate judges face retention elections.

You can check your congressional district and your state legislative district by going to IdahoVotes.gov and clicking the blue “Check Your Voter Record” box. Election Day is Nov. 3.

Here’s who you may see on your ballot, by office and then alphabetically by last name. When just one candidate is listed, the candidate is unopposed.
