Bill > H0726

This bill makes several changes to election procedures in Idaho, primarily concerning soil conservation district supervisors and the timing of elections. It revises the existing law on soil conservation district supervisors by amending and then repealing and reenacting Section 22-2721 of the Idaho Code, which outlines their election, appointment, qualifications, and tenure, and also specifically moves the supervisor elections scheduled for November 2026 and November 2028 to May 2027 and May 2029, respectively. Additionally, the bill modifies provisions related to mail ballot precincts by changing the timeframe for mailing ballots from twenty-four days to forty-five days prior to the election and from the fourteenth day to the eleventh day prior to the election, and it shortens the period for canvassing election results from ten days to nine days after the election. The bill also declares an emergency and sets different effective dates for its various sections.
