The Office of the Iowa Secretary of State has released a document to help outline the many ways that Election Security in Iowa is used in protecting the integrity and sanctity of the vote.Can I pick up or request a ballot for someone else?
No. In Iowa you can only request an absentee ballot for yourself.
What if I lost my ID or forgot to take one with me to the polls?
Starting in 2019, if you do not have your ID with you, you may either cast a provisional ballot or have another registered voter attest to your identity. Learn more about provisional ballots and attesting on our Voter ID page.
