Notes on this record

How the lists were read, and what could not be.

Municipal: Mayor and six council members from the City Council page's 'Current Elected Officials' list (idahofallsidaho.gov/398), retrieved 2026-11-01. Council seats are numbered city-wide seats. The City's 2025 General Municipal Election page (/2059) lists the 2025 candidates for Mayor and Council Seats 2, 4 and 6 — it prints each candidate's HOME ADDRESS; none was copied. Results of 2025 were not read; the current officials list is the source. No individual emails printed; directory links recorded as 'website'.
Municipal election: none in 2026. Idaho cities elect in odd-numbered Novembers; seats 2, 4, 6 and Mayor were on the 2025 ballot, so Seats 1, 3 and 5 are next, in November 2027 (inferred from the 2025 page; the 2027 page does not exist yet).
Districts: City Hall (308 Constitution Way; 43.4940,-112.0384) geocodes to ID-2, State Senate District 33, State House District 33 (Census geocoder, 2026 layers). A point on the eastern edge (-112.00,43.52) is in LD-32. Only LD-33's three members are recorded.
Federal and statewide: Crapo, Risch, Simpson, Little and the general-election nominees for U.S. Senate, ID-2 and Governor (Roth, Loesby, Gilbreath, Johanson, Pickens, Sand) are carried over from the us-boise record (Idaho Legislature congressional delegation page, House Clerk MemberData.xml, SOS primary canvass). house.gov/representatives (read 2026-11-01) also lists 'Simpson, Michael' (R) for Idaho's 2nd.
Candidates (LD-33): from the SOS's official May 19, 2026 primary canvass report (read 2026-11-01, archive.voteidaho.gov; robots 404): Senate — Dave Lent (R, unopposed in primary), Jan Brown (D); Seat A — Barbara Ehardt (R, beat Connor Cook 2,449-2,298), Chance Marshall (D); Seat B — Marco Adam Erickson (R, beat Jilene Burger 2,465-2,093), Todd DeVries (D). Primary losers not listed. NOT captured: independents or minor-party candidates who filed straight to the general, and any post-primary withdrawal/replacement (the certified general list is not readable — run.voteidaho.gov token API; votertools.voteidaho.gov robots-disallowed; Bonneville County's elections pages link only to that tool; Bingham County's November notice lists polling places only). Search results mention further gubernatorial candidates; none is on an official list read here, so none is recorded.
Legislator listings print home addresses and home phones; only the official @senate.idaho.gov / @house.idaho.gov emails were kept. No photos linked; standsFor null for everyone.
Robots/terms: www.idahofallsidaho.gov (CivicPlus; ClaudeBot named in an AI-crawler group with path rules only; '*' Crawl-delay 10 kept); legislature.idaho.gov ('#User-agent: ClaudeBot / #Disallow: /' is commented out, so '*' applies — paths allowed); www.bonnevillecountyidaho.gov (empty robots.txt); www.binghamid.gov (Allow /); archive.voteidaho.gov (robots 404).
