Kootenai County commissioners nix voter guide advisory question
Bill Brooks
COEUR d’ALENE — Two out of three Kootenai County commissioners rejected a request this week to put an advisory question on the ballot regarding a state-issued voter guide.
County commissioners have the authority to place an advisory question on the ballot pertaining to any issue. Coeur d’Alene resident Tom Sanner asked commissioners to consider the following question: “As Idaho taxpayers, should we be entitled to a voter guide?”
He said the request was prompted by Senate Bill 1273, which would have required the Idaho secretary of state to mail a new informational voter guide to every household in the state every other year, 30 days before an election. The guide would replace and expand upon the voter pamphlet already produced and distributed by the state every other year.
