MESSAGE FROM MAYOR KLING
IT'S TIME TO VOTE!

Between early voting and absentee voting, you may have already voted. If you have - thank you for exercising your constitutional rights.

If you haven't already voted, please vote by November 2. Each election is important and local elections are especially impactful for our community.

It's also important to research the candidates before voting. We've listed several resources below and you may also want to contact the candidates directly with questions.

The Declaration of Independence states, "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed." I encourage each eligible voter to exercise their voting rights and cast their ballots by November 2.

-Mayor Debbie Kling

The virtual link will be available on the NPD Facebook page Oct. 27. There will also be limited in-person seating. The virtual link will allow you to interact with the panel of officers, led by Lt. Oren McGuire. So, if you attend in person or virtually, definitely bring your questions. Community meetings for Nampa’s other districts will happen in the near future. Watch for those announcements!
