Elections officials in some Idaho counties say interest in absentee voting is increasing ahead of the Nov. 8 general election.
In Canyon County, for instance, elections officials have already sent out more than 13,900 absentee ballots.
That’s more absentee ballots than Canyon County elections sent out for the 2018 general election.
The Idaho Capital Sun reports, as long as they are already registered to vote, Idahoans have until Oct. 28 to request an absentee ballot.
Voters can request an absentee ballot through the Idaho Secretary of State’s website www.voteidaho.gov, or through their local county clerk’s office.
