The deadline for registered voters to request an Absentee Ballot by mail is October 18, 2021. If an eligible elector is unable to register to vote on or before the registration deadline, Iowa Law permits Election Day Registration at their polling location with current proof of Identity AND Residence within the precinct.
All voters are required to provide an approved form of identification at the polling place before receiving and casting a ballot. Voters who are not pre-registered – such as voters registering to vote on election day – and voters who have changed precincts will also be required to provide proof of residence. A person who is eligible to register to vote, may register on election day and vote by appearing in person at the polling place for the precinct in which the individual resides. The voter must complete a voter registration application, sign a written oath, and provide acceptable proof of identity and acceptable proof of residence. Acceptable documents which can be used as proof of identity and proof of residence are very specific and substitutes will not be accepted.
