VETERANS FOR IDAHO VOTERS: Leave no voter behind
According to the VA, there are nearly 128,000 military veterans in Idaho. We represent 9% of Idaho’s adult population, which is one of the highest rates in the U.S. Some Idaho vets come from families that have been here for generations and some settled in Idaho after their service. We are as diverse and independent as our fellow Idahoans and care deeply about this great state.
We served our country but can’t vote in primaries. That’s just plain wrong.
A veterans’ commitment to service carries through to voting. Veterans are more likely to vote (65.8%) than nonveterans (61.7%). Veterans are also more likely to vote as independents. According to Pew Research, 49% of U.S. military veterans preferred not to register with a political party and vote as independents.
