Voter Registration Information

Pre-registered voters are now required to provide an approved form of identification at the polling place before receiving and casting a regular ballot. Voters who are not pre-registered (such as voters registering on Election Day, and voters changing precincts), must also provide proof of residence.  The following documents can be used as proof of residency if they contain your name and current address, and are current within 45 days:  Residential lease, utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, government check or other government document, or a property tax statement (current within 45 days of final payment date).  Voters who are unable to provide an approved form of identification (or prove residence if required), may have their identities attested to by another registered voter in the precinct, or have the right to cast a provisional ballot.  Attesters must also provide an approved form of identification.  For additional information about providing proof of identity and/or residency, you may visit the Secretary of State’s website at: https://sos.iowa.gov/voterid, or contact the Delaware County Auditor’s Office at 563-927-4701. 

Pre-Election Day voter registration for this election will close Monday, May 20, 2024, at 5:00 p.m.  It is highly recommended that those persons wishing to vote in this election should pre-register on or before the May 20, 2024 deadline.  Eligible persons have the right to register to vote and cast a ballot on Election Day if they are able to provide proof of both their identity and residency at the polls.  Please bring a valid and current photo ID that has an expiration date.  If the address on your ID is not current, you will also need to provide proof of residency.
