Kootenai County voters sign for open primaries

Volunteers braved cold weather in downtown Coeur d’Alene Saturday morning to gather signatures for a ballot initiate that would open Idaho’s primary elections to all voters — and dozens of Kootenai County voters gave them a warm welcome.

To get the initiative on the ballot, volunteers must gather 63,000 valid signatures from across the state, including at least 6% of voters in 18 or more legislative districts.

As of Dec. 8, almost 49,000 verified signatures had been gathered statewide, including 2,210 in Kootenai County.
