FAQ

Q.

Do I need to show ID to vote?

A.

Beginning January 1, 2019, Iowa voters will be required to show a driver’s license, non-driver’s ID, passport, military ID, veterans ID, Tribal ID, or Voter ID Card at the polls before they vote. Pre-registered voters without an ID may cast a provisional ballot. Election Day registrants without an ID may cast a provisional ballot or have another registered voter attest to their identity. 

Q.

If I chose a party do I have to vote for all of their candidates?

A.

It depends on the election. In primary elections, you can only vote for candidates from the party to which you belong. In general elections, you are free to vote for anyone you like, regardless of their party affiliation.
