When do I need to provide ID?
Voters currently are required to provide an ID number on an absentee ballot request form. Voters must present an ID when voting early in-person or on Election Day.
Voter ID "PIN" Card
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.
Provisional Ballot
Pre-Registered voters who do not have an acceptable form of ID will be allowed to cast a provisional ballot.
Election Day registrants who do not have an acceptable form of ID will be allowed to either cast a provisional ballot or have another registered voter from your precinct may attest to their identification. Both you and the attester will be required to sign an oath swearing the statements being made are true. Attesters must provide proper identification for themselves in order to attest to another voter’s identification.
For a provisional ballot to be counted, the voter must provide an acceptable form of identification to the Auditor’s Office by noon on the following Monday.
