The Valley County Board of County Commissioners convened on September 24, 2025, to address several key issues, including the certification of county levies and the designation of polling locations for the upcoming general election.

The meeting began with a motion to certify the county levies for the fiscal year 2026, which pertains to the tax year 2025. This motion was met with unanimous support from the commissioners, highlighting the importance of maintaining financial stability for local services.

Following this, the commissioners discussed the polling locations for the general election scheduled for November 5, 2025. The designated sites include the American Legion in Cascade, the Donnelly Bible Church in Donnelly, and Idaho First Bank in McCall. The approval of these locations was also passed unanimously, ensuring that residents will have accessible places to cast their votes.

Election Coordinator Kirsten Oxford provided an update on absentee ballot requests, noting that the first batch of ballots would be sent out by Thursday. She emphasized the importance of early voting and encouraged residents to reach out to the clerk's office with any questions regarding the election process. Voters can request absentee ballots through the state’s website, voteidaho.gov, or by submitting a request form directly to the county office.

The discussions during this meeting reflect the county's commitment to facilitating a smooth electoral process and ensuring that residents are informed and engaged in upcoming elections. As the election date approaches, the county will continue to provide updates and resources to support voter participation.
