Valley County commissioners on Jan. 12 formally recorded that the clerk's office has implemented anti‑fraud procedures required by Idaho Code 34‑901.

Elections coordinator Kirsten Oxford read a letter to the board outlining the measures, saying the county uses “a state certified vote tabulator and voting machines” and ADA‑compliant express vote equipment at every polling place. The letter said the clerk’s office stamps or prints “official election ballot” on each ballot when issued, maintains documentation of security measures and a chain of custody for all ballots, and retains records to support verification by officials and observers.

A commissioner moved and another seconded that the board acknowledge compliance with Idaho Code 34‑901; a voice vote followed and commissioners answered “Aye.” Clerk Miller told the board that an early‑voting security plan had been submitted to the Idaho secretary of state for information and that no formal county approval was required.

The action places on record the county’s stated anti‑fraud practices and directs that they be part of the board’s election oversight record. No roll‑call vote or individual vote tally was recorded in the meeting transcript; the board used a voice vote.

What happens next: The clerk’s office continues to administer elections and maintain the records described in the memorandum to the board. Any future changes to the local security measures would require follow‑up by the clerk and notification to statutory canvassers.
