• U.S. Military ID or Veteran ID
• U.S. Passport

If you have moved since the last time you voted, and your ID does not have your current address, you will need to provide proof of your current residence. According to the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office, the following forms of proof of residence are acceptable.
• Utility bill, including a cell phone bill
• Residential lease
• Bank statement
• Paycheck
• Government check
• Other government document
• Property tax statement
Monday, Oct. 21 was also the last day to require an absentee ballot to vote by mail. Auditor’s offices around the state began sending out requested ballots on Oct. 16. In order to be counted, a mail-in ballot must be received by the county auditor’s office by 8 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 5.
