Government and politics

The last Democratic candidate for President to win the county was Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.[18] Subsequent Republican victories have been by smaller margins than those in the rest of Eastern Idaho, due to the presence of Idaho State University.

Similar to other Idaho counties, an elected three-member county commission heads the county government. Other elected officials include clerk, treasurer, sheriff, assessor, coroner, and prosecutor.[19]

Like the rest of eastern Idaho, Bannock County has a significant Latter Day Saint population which tends to strongly vote Republican. However, a substantial trade union presence in the county - as well as the Idaho State University community - often gives Democrats an overall advantage, especially in local races. Bannock County routinely elects more Democrats than Republicans to county-level offices.

At the state level, Bannock County is located in Legislative Districts 28 and 29.[20] Democrats currently control two of these six seats in the Idaho Legislature.[21] In 2016, Republicans were able to win House Seat A in District 29.

Idaho Department of Correction operates the Pocatello Women's Correctional Center (PWCC) in Pocatello and in Bannock County.[22]
