FAQ

Q.

Can someone else return my absentee ballot for me?

A.

The only people who may return a ballot for a voter are:

  • someone living in the voter’s household
  • an immediate family member
  • a special precinct election official delivering a ballot for health care residents
  • a delivery agent, in the case of a voter unable to return a ballot due to blindness or other disability
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.
