REGISTER TO VOTE
Before Election Day on Nov. 3, make sure you are registered to vote. In Iowa you can also register to vote on Election Day.
PLAN HOW YOU WILL VOTE
You can vote 1 of 3 ways:
Vote by Absentee Ballot
If you're registered to vote, you can request an absentee ballot from your home county. Be sure to follow the voting instructions exactly to avoid having your ballot rejected. Also be aware of deadlines for requesting ballots and returning them. In Iowa you can track your absentee ballot.
Vote Early in Person
