Ada and Canyon County staff up for May Primary Election

With the May 17th primary election steadily approaching, election offices say they are staffed up with poll workers to handle the job.

Election offices in Canyon County and Ada County say they have enough poll workers aready and many poll workers on call.

Canyon County will have two early voting locations this year, one in Nampa and one in Caldwell.

The Idaho Press reports, poll workers are told they need to be ready to work from 7 a.m. to nearly 9 p.m., after all the ballots are counted.

They also cannot leave throughout the process, and may want to request an absentee ballot as the worker cannot leave the polling location to go vote themselves.
