Attorneys in the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Districts will elect new representatives to the Idaho State Bar Board of Commissioners this spring. The new commissioners will replace Judge Robert Jackson of Payette (Third District) and Kristin Bjorkman of Boise (Fourth District).

Pursuant to Idaho Bar Commission Rule 900, the new commissioner representing the Third and Fifth Districts must reside or maintain an office in the Fifth District. Commissioners of the Idaho State Bar—the elected governing body of the Bar—serve for three-year terms, beginning on the last day of the ISB Annual Meeting (held in June) following their elections. The Board of Commissioners is charged with administering the regulation of the legal profession in Idaho, which includes the testing, admission, and licensing of attorneys, overseeing disciplinary functions, and mandatory continuing legal education requirements.

Ballots were distributed electronically to members eligible to vote in the Third, Fifth, and Fourth Districts on Monday, April 20, 2026. All ballots properly cast will be counted by a Board of Canvassers at the close of business on Tuesday, May 5, 2026.
