1. GET REGISTERED

Get registered to vote with your current name, at your current address, by ten days
before the election. You can also register on Election Day at your polling place.
• If you are registering to vote at the polls on Election Day, you must provide
photo ID. Voters who register on Election Date have to prove both identity
(photo ID) and residence – but your ID doesn’t need to have your current
address. You can use one of the following items to prove your Iowa residency:
• A residential lease
• Property tax statement
• Utility bill
• Bank statement
• Paycheck
• Or any other government document with the current name and address
Or, you can get your registration started right now:

2. WHAT TO BRING

Iowa does not have a voter ID requirement, but you may be asked to show
identification if:
• You registered to vote after January 1, 2003, and have never voted in a Primary
or General election in your county;
• You have moved from where you are registered to vote;
• You have moved from where you are registered to vote;
• Your right to vote has been challenged;
• The precinct election officials do not know you.
If one of these situations applies to you, be sure to bring one of the following pieces of
identification to the polls:

Or any of the following documents, with your name and current address:
• Current utility bill (including cell phone bill);

Vote Early or by Mail

Any registered voter can absentee vote in Iowa, and no excuse is required. Your
request form must be received by the county auditor’s office by 5:00 p.m. on the
Friday before Election Day (however, we recommend you allow yourself at least one
month before the election), and the completed ballot must be postmarked by at least the Monday before Election Day . You may also hand-deliver your completed ballot to the county auditor’s office before the polls close on Election Day. Finally, you can cast an absentee ballot in person at the county auditor’s office beginning forty days before the Election until the day before Election Day.
For the latest information on where, when and how to vote early
or by mail, see the
website of the Iowa Secretary of State.
