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 use power of attorney to request a ballot for my spouse, child or parent?

A.

No. Under Iowa law, power of attorney does not apply for all election related matters.
