LEGISLATURE
The 2026 Idaho Legislature opened January 12th and is estimated to close around April 10, 2026. As a part time legislature much must be done in a few months. For up to date information about the 2026 session, view the Legislature resources at legislature.idaho.gov.
Idaho has 35 state legislative districts. These districts are served by one senator and 2 house representatives. Each senator and representative serves a 2 year term and is elected through a party primary in May and the general election in November.
Every 10 years the districts are redone in order to provide the best and most equal service to the residents of the states. In 2010 each of the 35 state districts had approximately 44,788 residents. When the redistricting was complete in 2021 each state district had approximately 52,545 residents. (Idaho was one of the fastest growing states in the union).

Senator: Jim Woodward
