Q.
I am already registered but my information needs updated; can I do that on Election Day?
A.
Yes. While it is recommended that you update your information prior to Election Day to speed things up at the polls, you may wait and do so on Election Day. If you are updating your address just make sure you are going to the polling place for your new address. When updating your address you will now need to provide proof of identity and proof of residency.
Q.
Can I use power of attorney to request a ballot for my spouse, child or parent?
A.
No. Under Iowa law, power of attorney does not apply for all election related matters.
