FAQ

Q.

I registered as an independent; why does my card say "NP" or "No Party"?

A.

Iowa does not recognize an “independent” party. Instead, “No Party” is used to indicate a lack of affiliation with a political party.

Q.

Can I use power of attorney to request a ballot for my spouse, child or parent?

A.

No. Under Iowa law, power of attorney does not apply for all election related matters.
