Governor Brad Little and Secretary of State Phil McGrane officially declared September as National Voter Registration Month in Idaho with a proclamation encouraging all eligible citizens to register to vote or update their existing registration. This proclamation emphasizes the significance of voter participation and the need for awareness regarding state voting requirements and deadlines. “We want every Idahoan to be ready to vote on Election Day. With the November 5th General Election just around the corner, it’s important that everyone has the tools and information they need to participate in decisions that impact their communities,” said Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane. “I appreciate Governor Little for recognizing this important month, as we look forward to historic turnout for the November Election in Idaho.” Idaho joins other states in observing National Voter Registration Month in September, established in 2002 by the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) as a nonpartisan means of encouraging voter participation and increasing awareness around state requirements and deadlines for voting. During the month, National Voter Registration Day will be observed on September 17, 2024, with a voter registration drive at Gowen Field. Idaho residents may register online or check/update their registration at www.VoteIdaho.gov. The Governor’s proclamation states, “I encourage all interested citizens, appropriate media outlets, and civic organizations to participate in this non-partisan voter registration awareness campaign to encourage the maximum participation of qualified voters in Idaho.” To register to vote in Idaho, you must be a U.S. citizen, a resident of Idaho, and at least 18 years old by Election Day. The deadline to register online at VoteIdaho.gov before the Nov. 5, general election is Oct. 11. Same-day registration is also available at the polls on Election Day.

Our School Levy Renewal is on the Ballot On November 5, our community will be asked to consider renewing the Coeur d'Alene School District’s levy. ✅ Why it Matters Bright Futures for Students: The levy provides resources to help students excel. Sports & Art: The levy ensures students have growth opportunities outside the classroom. School Safety: The levy keeps safety officers in our schools so students & staff are safe. Look for “Supplemental Levy Election” on THE LAST PAGE of your ballot! Learn more about how the levy impacts our schools and community here. 🌟 The estimated average annual cost to the taxpayer on the proposed levy is a tax of $93 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value, per year, based on current conditions. The proposed levy replaces an existing levy that expires on June 30, 2025 and that currently costs $93 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value. Therefore, if the proposed levy is approved, the tax per $100,000 of taxable assessed value is not expected to change.
