Yes. There is a myth that absentee ballots only get counted if the election is close, however, this is not true. Under Iowa law, every ballot must be counted.
What if I lost my ID or forgot to take one with me to the polls?
If you are a pre-registered voter who does not have ID with you, you may cast a provisional ballot. If you are an Election Day registrant who does not have ID with you, you may either cast a provisional ballot or have another registered voter from your precinct attest to your identification. Learn more about provisional ballots and attesting on our Voter ID page.
