Voting Early or On May 19

Here at Meridian City Hall, we’re proud to host an early voting location for Ada County. If you want to beat the lines on election day, you have one more week to vote early ahead of the Tuesday, May 19, 2026, primary election. 

The May 19 election includes federal, state, county, and local district races. Depending on where you live in Meridian and your registered party affiliation, your ballot may include:

• Federal offices like Senator and House Representative
• Statewide Offices like Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Treasurer, Controller, and others.
• State Senate and Representative district races
• Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, and other judicial elections
• County Commissioner, Clerk, Assessor, Treasurer, and Coroner races
• Ballot Questions like the West Ada Recreation District Dissolution

So, while you may have been driving around Meridian and seen signs for various candidates, I encourage every resident to take a few minutes to go to the Ada County Elections webpage to view their personalized ballot before heading to the polls. That way, you won’t be surprised when you step into the ballot box to make your voice heard.

There are several early voting locations in Ada County where you can vote this week. On election day, polls will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. You can find early voting locations and your polling place by visiting the Ada County Elections webpage.

And when you vote, take a moment to thank the poll workers who are there to help you. Hundreds of dedicated individuals step forward to ensure our elections run smoothly, securely, and fairly. Their service helps ensure that every election in Ada County is conducted with fairness, accuracy, and care.

From checking in voters and answering questions to following processes, poll workers are committed to the belief that every vote matters.

On behalf of myself and the City of Meridian, thank you to all those who spend their time helping our elections run more smoothly, and best of luck to the candidates who have stepped up to run for office.
