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
If you do not have an acceptable form of identification when going to vote, you may cast a provisional ballot. For the provisional ballot to be counted, the voter must provide an acceptable form of identification at the polling place before it closes or provide it at the Auditor's Office by noon on the following Monday. If the election canvass is held earlier than the following Monday, the identification must be provided before the canvass.
