Get Out the Vote!
by Amy Beck
Election Day is around the corner. Do you have a voting plan?
Polling Place. Do you know where to vote? If not, confirm your polling place here.
Voting Times. Polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. statewide.
Voter Registration. Are you registered to vote? If so, great work! You can skip this section. If not, do not worry. Iowa allows same day voter registration. Here is what you will need to do:
- Go to your correct polling place for your current address on election day.
- At the polling place, you must prove both who you are and where you live. The best way to do this is with your valid Iowa driver’s license with your current address printed on it.
- Iowa non-operator ID
- Out-of-state driver’s license or non-operator ID
- ID card issued by an employer
- Student ID issued by an Iowa high school or college
- Tribal ID card/document
- Residential lease
- Utility bill (including a cell phone bill)
- Bank statement
- Paycheck
- Government check or other government document
- Property tax statement
