About Idaho Voter Guide
IdahoVoters.com is a free voter guide with a researched profile for every candidate for the Idaho Legislature on the November 3, 2026 general election ballot: 199 candidates competing in 105 races across 35 legislative districts. Voters can also enter an Idaho address to see the districts and races on their own ballot.
Created and published by Gregory Graf. Last updated September 29, 2026.
What the guide covers
The guide profiles all 199 legislative candidates. Together they run in 105 races, and those races span all 35 legislative districts. Five parties appear: Republican, Democratic, Independent, Libertarian, and Constitution.
Some candidates leave the race before Election Day. The state's filed-candidates list tracks each one's status, including “Withdrawn,” and IdahoVoters.com marks withdrawn candidates the same way. Candidates who lost the May 19, 2026 primary keep their pages, with the loss noted.
The ballot lookup also lists statewide and county races. Detailed profiles for those offices are being added.
The lookup geocodes the address you enter, takes the legislative district from U.S. Census Bureau boundary data, and names the precinct from the Idaho Secretary of State's precinct map. Addresses can be placed imprecisely, so confirm your official ballot with the state's voter tools.

How profiles are researched and verified
Ballot facts come from the Idaho Secretary of State, which is the source of truth for the guide. That covers who filed, who is on the ballot, who withdrew, and how the primary turned out. Aggregator sites and wikis never decide any of it, and profiles of candidates on the November ballot do not cite them.
Biographical claims follow their own rule. A direct quotation appears only when it can be found in a published source other than IdahoVoters.com. If a quote can't be traced, it doesn't run.
Every profile of a candidate on the November ballot links to its sources inside the text, so a reader can check a claim in one click. Each profile also shows the date it was last updated, and the site is rebuilt daily.
Where the information comes from
Filing status and primary results come from the Secretary of State. The elections division publishes official results for the May 19 primary, along with canvass and audit reports, and the candidate filing portal lists every filed candidate by office, district, party, and status.
Biographical facts come from four kinds of documents:
- Official legislative biographies
- Campaign websites
- Candidate questionnaires published by Idaho news outlets
- Campaign finance filings on the Secretary of State's Sunshine portal
Sunshine is the state's campaign finance system. It lets anyone search by candidate, committee, contribution, and expenditure, which makes it the record of who funds a campaign and how the money is spent.
Some profiles also cite reporting from Political Potatoes and idahoextremism.org. Gregory Graf, who created this guide, also produces both publications. Those citations link to the original articles.
Each fact in a profile links to the document it came from. Where no published source supports a fact, the profile leaves it out.
Who created and publishes IdahoVoters.com
IdahoVoters.com was created and is published by Gregory Graf. It was his idea, he built it, and he owns it. His name is on the work.
Graf is the founder of Snake River Strategies, a strategic communications firm based in Eagle, Idaho. He has more than 20 years of experience in SEO, online reputation management, and political consulting, and he previously led global SEO and reputation management at Melaleuca. He started the Idaho Voter Guide because it had become hard for voters to find reliable information about state policy and the officials who shape it.
How the site is funded
The site is mostly self-funded by Snake River Strategies. Take Back Idaho, a political action committee, gave one-time financial help that covered part of the early build of the candidate database. Researching and maintaining the profiles takes ongoing personal time and expense.
Readers can contribute on the Support page. A contribution supports the Idaho Voter Guide and is not a political campaign or PAC donation. Money from readers pays for research and writing, and it would help expand coverage to judicial and county races.
Corrections and contact
A candidate or a member of the public can request a correction through the contact form on this page. Include the candidate's name, the specific field that needs changing, and the correct information with a source. Requests are reviewed, and profiles are updated as quickly as possible.
Candidates are not removed from the guide, and facts drawn from official filings are not altered. A correction backed by a source is applied.
