How to be Involved
Legislators need to hear from those that they represent throughout the year, not just during the legislative session. We have provided resources on this page to help you to be involved.
- Idaho Legislative 101 PowerPoint (1,000B PPT)
- www.legislature.idaho.gov - This site has up to the minute information for the Idaho Legislature - look up bills, your legislators, and more.

- www.idahovotes.gov - Information from the Secretary of State on the upcoming elections.
Ways to be a citizen lobbyist include:
- Writing a letter to the editor of your local paper,
- Donating money or time to organizations, such as Centers for Independent Living, that advocate on your behalf,
- Writing to your legislators,
- And speaking out and being visible.
