Voting in Boise Will Soon Look Different It seems that after a year of pandemic, nothing is coming out of 2020 the same as it went in. In some ways, that's great and in other ways, we'll just have to adapt. One thing that is changing may be something you only think about once every four years--but it IS important: voting. In 2020, the Idaho legislature passed a new law that impacts the entire state. According to this law, any city within the State of Idaho that has a population of over 100,000 people will need to elect their city council members by district. Here in the City of Boise, districts one, three, and five are up on this November's ballot.
