On the Ketchum ballot this year: Form of Government. (learn more at projectketchum.org!)
Shall the City of Ketchum adopt the council-manager plan of government as set forth in sections 50-801 through 50-812, Idaho Code?
A “yes” vote would change the City of Ketchum’s form of government to a council- manager plan, where the City Council appoints a city manager as the chief administrative (executive) officer.
A “no” vote would retain the City of Ketchum’s current mayor-council form of government, in which an elected mayor is the chief administrative (executive) officer of the city.
Other measures also included on the fall 2025 ballot for Ketchum voters include:
Recreation Levy for Blaine County Recreation District (bcrd.org)
Supplemental Budget Levy for the Blaine County School District (blaineschools.org)
Ketchum Fire District Commissioners (ketchumfiredistrict.org)

Evening with the Candidates
Initiated and sponsored, with help from other candidates, by Tracie Smith. This will be an open forum-people asking direct questions to one candidate or asking everyone to reply. Enjoy appetizers, wine & beer while getting to know the candidates a lot better.
Pizza & Politics
Local voters should take the opportunity to meet and question candidates for local and state offices next week in nonpartisan Pizza and Politics gatherings. The gatherings are organized, promoted and moderated by Express newspaper staffers as a public service.
Meeting candidates in-person is a great way to take their measure and to understand how they will vote on issues.
