Democrats, Republicans To Choose General Election Candidates In June 2 Primary

Iowa voters will have the opportunity to cast their ballots from 7 a.m. – 8 p.m. in Tuesday’s primary election.

Voters taking part in the June 2 election are required to be registered with either the Democrat or Republican party. Each party is conducting its own primary to nominate candidates for November’s general election.
If a voter is registered with one of the political parties and wants to cast a ballot in a different party, the voter will be allowed to register with the new political party on Election Day. The voter will have to re-register after Election Day if he or she wants to switch back to their original party.

Voters may register at their polling place on Election Day by presenting a current photo ID and proof of residency to the election officials. Voters can contact the Mills County Auditor’s Office for a list of approved voter identification documents.

All voters taking part in Tuesday’s election will be required to provide an approved form of photo ID at their polling place before receiving and casting a ballot. A voter who is unable to provide an approved form of ID (or prove residence if required) may:

1. Have the voter’s identity / residence attested to by another registered voter in their precinct. Attesters must provide an approved form of photo ID in order to attest for the voter.

2. Cast a provisional ballot and provide a photo ID / proof of residency at the Auditor’s Office by 8 a.m. on Friday, June 5.
Voters who would like to cast an early absentee ballot can do so at the Mills County Auditor’s Office by 4:30 p.m. on Monday, June 1. Voters who have received an absentee ballot in the mail must have it back to the auditor’s office by 8 p.m. on Election Day (Tuesday, June 2).
