Early Voting in Iowa Starts Today. Here's What to Know.

Secretary of State Paul Pate said all registered voters can request mailed ballots, with applications due by 5 p.m. May 18.

  • Early in-person voting began Wednesday, May 13, for Iowa's June 2 primary elections, with ballots now available at county election offices and authorized satellite locations statewide.
  • Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate encourages voters to plan early, as written absentee ballot requests must reach county auditors by 5 p.m. on Monday, May 18.
  • As early voting commences, Iowa has 1,791,361 active registered voters, though registrations dipped by roughly 45,000 compared to the 2022 midterm cycle.
  • Primary voters must register with a specific political party to participate, as Iowans cannot cast ballots in multiple party contests. "Now is the time to make your plan to vote," Pate said.
  • Completed absentee ballots must arrive at the county auditor's office by 8 p.m. on Election Day to be counted. The United States Postal Service recommends mailing ballots at least one week early.
