FAQ

Q.

I registered as an independent; why does my card say "NP" or "No Party"?

A.

Iowa does not recognize an “independent” party. Instead, “No Party” is used to indicate a lack of affiliation with a political party.

Q.

Can I take my absentee ballot to the polls on Election Day and vote there?

A.

Yes. If you have not returned your absentee ballot you may go to your polling place on Election Day and vote a regular ballot.
