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.

What if I'm still waiting in line when the polls close?

A.

So long as you are in line to vote at the time the polls close you will be allowed to vote.
