Acceptable documents include an Idaho driver's license, utility bill, bank statement, or other current documents showing name and address within the precinct. Idaho does not require party registration, allowing voters to request either party ballot in primary elections. The city conducts municipal elections for mayor and city council positions. With a mayor-council form of government and four council members elected from geographic districts, municipal elections occur in odd-numbered years on the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November. Candidate filing opens in August and closes in September preceding the election. Information about candidates and local ballot measures is available through Garden City Hall at (208) 472-2900 and the Ada County Elections office. Municipal elections here are nonpartisan.

Polling places are open from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM on election day (Idaho Code §34-1002).

Campaign finance reports for local candidates are filed with the Ada County Clerk and are available for public inspection, while state and federal candidates file with the Idaho Secretary of State at sos.idaho.gov/elect/finance. Candidate declarations, nominating petitions, and ballot measure filings are all public records. Precinct-level election results are published by the Ada County Elections office after certification, typically available at adacounty.id.gov/Elections within days of the election.

However, voters will decide numerous state legislative races: all 70 Idaho House seats (including the city's district representatives) and approximately 18 of the 35 Idaho Senate seats (District 16 and District 18 which cover parts of the area). The city will not have municipal races in 2026 as local elections occur in odd-numbered years. Idaho offers absentee voting by mail for any registered voter without requiring an excuse (Idaho Code §34-1002). Voters can request an absentee ballot online at idahovotes.gov, by phone at (208) 287-7301, by mail, or in person at the Ada County Elections office.
