Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

The county clerk shall, upon receipt of
a written request, such request to be received no later than five (5) days
prior to the day of election, direct that the election judges permit one (1)
person authorized by each political party to be at the polling place for the
purpose of challenging voters, and shall, if requested, permit any candidate,
or one (1) person authorized by a candidate, several candidates or political
party, to be present to watch the receiving and counting of the votes. Such
authorization shall be evidenced by a writing signed by the county chairman
and secretary of the political party, or by the candidate or candidates, and
filed with the county clerk. If the county clerk does not receive the list of
names of those which the parties desire to be present for the purpose of
either poll watching or challenging within the time prescribed above, the
clerk shall not allow the presence of such persons later seeking to serve in
those capacities. Persons who are authorized to serve as challengers or
watchers shall wear a visible name tag which includes their respective titles.
Persons permitted to be present to watch the counting of the votes shall not
absent themselves until the polls are closed.
