FAQ

Q.

Can a homeless person register to vote?

A.

Yes. Any eligible voter in Iowa may register to vote. Because many of those who are homeless have a nontraditional address they just need to provide an address or description of where they sleep the most, wherever that may be.

Q.

Can I vote for someone that is not on the ballot?

A.

Yes. For each race on the ballot a line is provided for you to write-in the name of someone for whom you wish to vote for.
