Iowa Mail-In Voter Registration Application

Voter Qualifications:

To register to vote in Iowa, you must:

  • Be a citizen of the United States
  • Be a resident of Iowa
  • Be at least 17 1/2 years old (you must be 18 to vote.)
  • Not have been convicted of a felony (or have had your rights restored.)
  • Not currently be judged "mentally incompetent" by a court
  • Give up your right to vote in any other place.

Deadlines for registering to vote are 10 days before a primary or general election; 11 days before any other election. You may register after the deadline, but your registration will not be effective until after that election. Normally, an application must be received by the deadline in order to be valid for the election. However, if your registration is postmarked at least 15 days before the election, it will be accepted for that election even if it is received after the deadline.

Registration is permanent. After you register, you do not have to register again unless you move to a new address.
