Early voting in the Nov. 3 election is now underway. County auditors’ offices have started mailing out absentee ballots requested by voters and are opening their doors for early in-person voting.
Early in-person voting will run through Monday, Nov. 2, the day before the election, and all mail-in absentee ballots must be received in the auditor’s office by 8 p.m. on Nov. 3, when the polls close on Election Day.
Voters wanting to request an absentee ballot by mail must submit a written request form to their auditor’s office by next Monday, Oct. 18. That’s also the final day to register to vote by mail before Election Day. Same-day registration is available at all polling places on Election Day and during early voting.

• Iowa Voter Identification Card
• Iowa Driver’s License
• Iowa Non-Operator ID
• U.S. Military ID or Veteran ID

• Residential lease
• Utility bill, including a cell phone bill
• Bank statement
• Paycheck
• Government check
• Other government document
