6. Do I have to show identification at my polling place?

No, it is not required by Iowa law.

The only time a voter is required to show identification is when a voter has become Inactive and decides to vote.

Poll workers may ask for identification to verify your information.

It is helpful to have your ID and Voter's Registration Card ready before you get to the sign in table.

7. When and where are the election results available?

Our office has the lobby typically set up for live results for most elections (i.e. general elections).

There is also a web link where results maybe viewed as they come in.

The election results will not appear until the polls have closed.

8. What and when is the Pre-registration Deadline for voting?

10 Days before General Elections

11 Days before all other elections

Pre-registering before an election places your name in the Election Register at your polling place and will make for a hassle-free voting experience. If you are not in the Election Register when appearing at your polling place, you must prove your identity and residence before being allowed to vote. This will take time and documentation. It is highly recommended that you register to vote or update your registration prior to the Pre-registration Deadline.

9. If I miss the Pre-registration Deadline, can I still vote?

While it is highly recommended that you register to vote or update your registration prior to Election Day, you may still register after the Pre-registration Deadline? Election Day Registration Information
