They have informed us that the wrong letter template was attached to the voter list and approximately 933 letters were sent out. If you recieved this letter, you will likely be recieving another one explaining the error. If you have further questions, you can contact their office at 208-883-2249.

The scammers are at it again!

We have received several reports over the last week of people receiving letters from the "Latah County Elections" stating they have been convicted of a felony and their voter registration has been cancelled.

If you have not been convicted of a felony and receive one of these letters, you can call the Elections office at 208-883-2249 or stop by their office at the Courthouse to talk to someone in person.
