Q.
What is Voter ID?
A.
Starting in 2019, voters must provide an ID when going to vote. 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. Learn more about provisional ballots and attesting on our Voter ID page.
There are 6 approved types of identification that may be used:
- an Iowa Driver’s License or Non-Operator ID
- a Voter ID issued by the Secretary of State or the Auditor’s Office
- a current US Passport
- a US Military ID
- a US Veteran’s ID
- a Tribal ID
