All voters are required to provide an approved form of identification at the polling place before receiving and casting a ballot. Voters who are not pre-registered – such as voters registering to vote on election day – and voters who have changed precincts will also be required to provide proof of residence. A voter who cannot provide proof of identification may have their identity attested to by another voter registered in the precinct who has an approved form of identification. For more information about voter ID, visit the Iowa Secretary of State website or call the Jasper Co. Auditor at 641-792-7016. A person who is eligible to register to vote, may register on election day and vote by appearing in person at the polling place for the precinct in which the individual resides. The voter must complete a voter registration application, sign a written oath, and provide acceptable proof of identity and acceptable proof of residence. Acceptable documents which can be used as proof of identity and proof of residence are very specific and substitutes will not be accepted. To see all forms of approved ID visit the Iowa Secretary of State website.
Election Fraud. A voter commits the crime of Election Misconduct in the First Degree if the person submits false information when registering to vote. Election misconduct in the first degree is a class “D” felony, and punishable by a fine of up to $7,500 and/or imprisonment of up to five (5) years. Convicted felons who register and vote without receiving a restoration of voting rights from the Governor are committing a class “D” felony.
Notice is further given, in accordance with Chapter 52.35 of the Iowa Code that the duly authorized agents of the Jasper County Auditor and Commissioner of Elections shall publicly examine and test all voting machines to be used for the November 3, 2020 General Election. Public testing will begin on Tuesday, October 27, at 1:00 p.m. at the Election Equipment Building located at 113 W. 2nd St. S., Newton.
