2016 United States House of Representatives elections in Idaho
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United States House of Representatives elections in Idaho occurred on November 8, 2016. The state chose two individuals to represent Idaho in the U.S. House. Idaho's voting system is a mixed primary system. The Democratic Party permits unaffiliated voters to vote in the primary.[1] The Republican Party grants registered voters the right to vote.[1] Non-affiliated electors can choose to ally with a party on election day,[1] however, they will be obligated to that party at the next election.[1] The primaries were held on May 17.
