CALDWELL - The results of the public opinion ballot used to help educate the public about Canyon County's new ballot style, which was voted at the Canyon County Fair, are now available at www.canyonco.org. Rather than the familiar punch card, voters in the Nov. 4 General Election will use a pen to darken an oval corresponding to the selection of their choice. The public opinion ballots are in this new style.
The Elections Office has a number of ballots remaining and Canyon County residents who did not vote at the fair are invited to the Elections Office at 1102 E. Chicago in Caldwell, to express their opinion on a number of current Canyon County issues. The ballots will be available through Sept. 12.
This is a non-binding opinion ballot that will be reviewed by County Elected Officials and Department Heads. Interested residents may also call the Elections Office at 454-7562 to request a public opinion ballot be mailed to them. The voter must pay return postage.
It is important to note that for an official election such as the upcoming General Election, absentee ballots cannot be requested by phone. In an official election the requestor's signature must be compared against the signature on his or her registration form. In an actual election, voters may request an absentee ballot on plain paper, submit a completed absentee ballot request obtained from http://idahovotes.gov/, or request an Absentee Ballot Request from the county elections office by phone at 454-7562.
Requests for an absentee ballot in an official election may be submitted on plain paper but must include the voter's name, Canyon County residence, address the absentee ballot is to be mailed (if different from county residence) and signature. All unsigned requests, whether on plain paper or official request forms, will be returned unfulfilled.

A public discourse on the issues of the day makes the world a better place.
We welcome comments but they will be moderated and edited if too long or do not have anything to do with the post.
Agree or disagree just do it without profanity or it won't get posted. Try to keep your comments to no more than 300 words. Too long and I will try to edit it down or simply delete the comment. The whole idea is to get people to read your comment. Don't use 10 words when one will do the job.
It's OK to have a difference of opinion but keep it civil. I have used the "delete" feature on myself at times.
The ANONYMOUS feature for comments seems to be the most user friendly. People have commented they have difficulty with the other methods of posting comments.
