All registered voters are entitled to vote on non-partisan issues during the Primary Election like Judges and Supreme Court Judges. \u00a0However if you request an unaffiliated ballot, you can&#8217;t vote for any candidates other than judges this election. Successful candidates from the party primary elections and independent candidates will appear on the General Election Ballot.\u00a0 <strong>And, since Idaho is predominantly a Republican State most candidates elected in the May primary become the designated representative, especially in North Idaho. Vote for Republicans who will place Principle over Politics and focus on issues that impact the lives of you, your family, and your community.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ecxxmsonormal\">Federal, Statewide, Legislative and Judicial Offices:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ecxMsoNormal\">U.S. Senator<\/li>\n<li class=\"ecxMsoNormal\">U.S. House of Representatives &#8211; 1st and 2nd Congressional Districts<\/li>\n<li class=\"ecxMsoNormal\">Supreme Court Justice &#8211; decided at the Primary Election<\/li>\n<li class=\"ecxMsoNormal\">Court of Appeals Judge &#8211; decided at the Primary Election<\/li>\n<li class=\"ecxMsoNormal\">Idaho State Senate &#8211; all seats in the Senate (35)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ecxMsoNormal\">Idaho State Representative &#8211; all seats in the House (70)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"ecxxmsonormal\">County Offices:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ecxMsoNormal\">County Commissioner District 2 (4 year term)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ecxMsoNormal\">County Commissioner District 3 (2 year term)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ecxMsoNormal\">County Sheriff<\/li>\n<li class=\"ecxMsoNormal\">County Prosecuting Attorney<\/li>\n<li class=\"ecxMsoNormal\">Precinct Committeepersons<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"ecxxmsonormal\">Other offices and issues, if any, will vary by County.
