FAQ

Q.

Can I get help marking my ballot?

A.

Yes. If you need assistance filling out your ballot ask a poll worker for help. A team of one republican and one democrat will come over and help you mark your ballot. Also available in each polling location is a ballot marking device that will read you all of the choices and then print out your marked ballot.

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.
