STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31390C1 / S1415
This legislation adds section to Chapter 7, Title 34, Idaho Code in establishing the presidential preference
primary in Idaho. This legislation also identifies the date which the voters will express their preferred choice
of candidates for nomination by a political party for president. This legislation also put in place the Secretary
of State’s responsibilities during the presidential primary elections.
FISCAL NOTE
Minimum to no expenditure required, other than printing cost because the candidates’ names would be added
to May primary ballots. There maybe some personnel cost involved in the Office of the Secretary of State, but
it will be minimal as the staff are also preparing the ballots for legislative races.
