Primary Election Information
Primary Elections are how the political parties select their candidates for the November General Election. The candidates on your ballot match the party you affiliated with when you registered to vote. (Check your party affiliation here: Secretary of State, Check Your Voter Record.)
Below are the names, websites, and Facebook pages for every candidate who filed to run in the 2026 election. I'm updating the list periodically, but please write to advertising@caldwellperspective.com if you see something missing or have suggestions for this page.

Election Information
Secretary of State and Canyon County Elections Office
Primary Elections are how the political parties select their candidates for the November General Election.
Primary ballots are specific to each party.
The Republican, Constitution, and Libertarian parties have "closed primaries," which means to vote in their primaries you have to be affiliated with their party on your voter file with the elections office.
The Democratic party has an "open primary," which means any registered voter can vote in their primaries.
Independent candidates all go through to the general election.
Any registered voter can opt for a non-partisan ballot instead of a partisan ballot. Non-partisan ballots do not have much on them.
The best sources for election information are:
- The Secretary of State: voteidaho.gov
- The Canyon County Elections Office: elections.canyoncounty.id.gov
