Idaho Civics: How Your State Government Works

A practical, non-partisan guide to how the state of Idaho governs itself, and how you take part where you live. You'll learn Idaho's Constitution of 1890; its plural executive; its part-time citizen Legislature of 35 senators and 70 representatives, elected from 35 shared districts (each district elects one senator and two representatives); its citizen initiative and referendum, which come with a demanding, geographically distributed signature requirement; its nonpartisan elected judiciary; and its 44 counties. Time-sensitive facts are flagged, pointing to sos.idaho.gov. Cited to Idaho's own official sources (legislature.idaho.gov, sos.idaho.gov, isc.idaho.gov).
