Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Idaho in 2024. Information below was calculated on April 15, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

There were 105 state legislative seats up for election this year in Idaho. Across those, six incumbents (two Democrats and four Republicans) did not file to run for re-election. That's the fewest number of retirements since at least 2010. From 2010 to 2022, the average number of retirements per cycle was 19. In 2022, 31 incumbents (six Democrats and 25 Republicans) did not run for re-election.

The total number of contested primaries (with more than one candidate) was higher than the average for election cycles from 2010 to 2022. In 2024, there were 56 contested primaries (four Democratic and 52 Republican) out of a possible 210, a rate of 26.7%. The average for the previous seven election cycles was 23.8%. In 2022, the decade-high, there were 71 contested primaries (all Republican) for a rate of 33.8%.

All 35 Senate seats and all 70 House seats were up for election in 2024.

Open seats

The table below shows the number and percentage of open seats in the Idaho House of Representatives from 2010 to 2024.[2]

Legislative referrals

See also: Legislative referral

A legislative referral, or legislatively referred ballot measure, is a ballot measure that appears on the ballot due to a vote of the state legislature. A legislative referral can be a constitutional amendment, state statute, or bond issue.

As of the 2024 election, a two-thirds vote was required during one legislative session for the Idaho State Legislature to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot. That amounted to a minimum of 47 votes in the Idaho House of Representatives and 24 votes in the Idaho State Senate, assuming no vacancies. Amendments did not require the governor's signature to be referred to the ballot.

At the time of the 2024 election, Republicans held a 28-7 majority in the Senate and a 59-10 majority in the House. Republicans held the minimum votes necessary to put a legislative referral on the ballot without Democratic votes. Republicans needed to lose five Senate seats and 13 House seats to lose that ability. Democrats needed to win 17 Senate seats and 37 House seats to have the same ability.

Process to become a candidate

DocumentIcon.jpg See statutes: Title 34 of the Idaho Code

Political party candidates

A partisan candidate must file a declaration of candidacy and either pay a filing fee or submit a petition containing the required number of signatures with the Idaho Secretary of State. A candidate for statewide and state legislative office must also file a "C1: Appointment and Certification of Political Treasurer" form with the Idaho Secretary of State. The candidate must file this form prior to announcing his or her candidacy, accepting donations, or spending money on the campaign.[3][4]

For a candidate collecting signatures to be filed with a declaration of candidacy, each signature sheet must contain the signatures of qualified electors from a single county and must be verified by the appropriate county clerk prior to being filed with the Idaho Secretary of State. This applies to candidates for all statewide offices, state legislative offices, and congressional offices. Filing fees and signature requirements vary according to the office sought and are set out in the table below.[5]

Filing fees and petition signature requirements for partisan candidates
Office sought Filing fee Petition signature requirements
United States Senator $500 1,000
United States Representative $300 500
Governor $300 1,000
Lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, state controller, attorney general, and superintendent of public instructure $200 1,000
State legislator $30 50

Independent candidates

An independent candidate must file a declaration of candidacy and submit a petition containing the required number of signatures with the Idaho Secretary of State. A candidate for statewide or state legislative office must file a "C1: Appointment and Certification of Political Treasurer" form with the Idaho Secretary of State. The candidate must file this form prior to announcing his or her candidacy, accepting donations, or spending money on the campaign.[6][7]

Each petition signature sheet must contain the signatures of qualified electors from a single county and must be verified by the appropriate county clerk prior to being filed with the Idaho Secretary of State. This applies to all statewide, state legislative, and congressional offices. For offices elected on a statewide basis (e.g., governor, United States Senator), the petition must contain 1,000 signatures. For United States House of Representatives elections, the petition must contain 500 signatures. For state legislative elections, the petition must contain 50 signatures.[8][9]

Write-in candidates

A write-in candidate must file a declaration of intent form with the Idaho Secretary of State. A write-in candidate seeking the nomination of a political party in the primary election also must pay the filing fee required of that office within 10 days following the primary election date. A write-in candidate must also receive a minimum number of votes in the primary election in order to advance to the general election. These vote thresholds are as follows: [10]

  • 1,000 for any statewide office
  • 500 for a congressional district office
  • 50 for a state legislative office

A write-in candidate must file a declaration of intent form no less than 28 days before the primary or general election.[11][12]

Footnotes

  1. ↑ Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.
  2. ↑ Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
