See also: How vacancies are filled in state legislatures

If there is a vacancy in the Idaho State Legislature, the governor is responsible for appointing a replacement.

The political party committee that last held the vacant seat has 15 days after the vacancy occurs to submit a list of three recommended candidates to the governor. The governor makes the selection based on the recommendations.

If any party committee fails to submit a list of recommended candidates after the 15-day deadline, the governor has five days to appoint a person from the political party that last held the seat. The person appointed to the seat serves for the remainder of the unfilled term.^[5]

Redistricting

On November 12, 2021, the Idaho Independent Redistricting Commission formally submitted its final legislative map to the secretary of state. On November 10, 2021, the commission voted 6-0 in favor of the final legislative map.^[6] The commission had earlier voted in favor of the map on November 5, 2021, but chose to recast their votes on November 10, 2021, due to concerns regarding Idaho's open meetings laws.^[6]^[7]^[8] Idaho has 35 legislative districts, each of which elects one senator and two representatives.

How does redistricting in Idaho work? In 37 states, legislatures are primarily responsible for drawing congressional district lines. Seven states have only one congressional district each, rendering congressional redistricting unnecessary. Four states employ independent commissions to draw the district maps. In two states, politician commissions draw congressional district lines.

State legislative district lines are primarily the province of the state legislatures themselves in 37 states. In seven states, politician commissions draw state legislative district lines. In the remaining six states, independent commissions draw the lines.^[9]

In Idaho, an independent commission is responsible for drawing both congressional and state legislative district lines. The commission is composed of six members.^[10]

One member is appointed by the majority leader of the Idaho State Senate.
One member is appointed by the minority leader of the Idaho State Senate.
One member is appointed by the majority leader of the Idaho House of Representatives.
One member is appointed by the minority leader of the Idaho House of Representatives.
The chairs of the state's two largest political parties each appoint one member.

According to the Idaho Constitution, no member may be an elected or appointed official while serving on the commission. The state constitution further requires that the commission produce draft congressional and state legislative maps within 90 days of the commission's formation. There is no explicit deadline for final plans.^[10]

The state constitution requires that state legislative districts "be contiguous, and that counties be preserved intact where possible." State statutes require that both congressional and state legislative districts meet the following criteria:^[10]

County lines must be maintained "to the extent possible."
Districts must "preserve traditional neighborhoods, communities of interest, and (if possible) voting precinct boundaries."
Districts should not be "oddly shaped."
In districts comprising more than one county or a portion thereof, "those constituent pieces must also be connected by a state or federal highway."
