The U.S. Constitution:
Article I, Section 4, Clause 1:
“The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.”
State law primarily determines how elections are conducted. The office of the Iowa Secretary of State implements Iowa voting laws and regulations.
Here are some links to important Iowa voting resources.
In Iowa, you can register to vote online by following this link to the Secretary of State’s website and following the instructions. This process is excellent for folks who recently moved and were already registered to vote in Iowa.
The official state of Iowa voter registration form can be downloaded and completed and then dropped off or mailed to our Adair County Auditor’s office at:
Courthouse
400 Public Sq. Ste. 5
Greenfield, IA 50849
641-743-2546
This process may take ten business days and is best mailed through your local USPS. This must be done at least 15 days before the next election to ensure proper voter registration at your current address.
