Due to a recent court ruling, identification is only required when voting on Election Day. Voters currently are not required to provide an ID number on an absentee ballot request form or present an ID when voting early in-person.
Any registered voter who does not have a valid driver's license or non-operator's ID issued by the Iowa Department of Transportation were issued a Voter ID Card containing a four-digit PIN. To be valid on Election Day the Voter ID card must be signed prior to arriving at the polling place.
If you should have been issued a Voter ID card but do not have one, please contact our office.
If you do not have an acceptable form of identification when going to vote you have several options:
Voters were previously offered the option to sign an additional oath of identification in 2018. This option is no longer available.
