2010 Primary Election
Tuesday, June 8, 2010
The Iowa Primary Elections are coming up on June 8, 2010, and polls will be open statewide from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. In a Primary Election, candidates run against other candidates from the same party to win that party’s nomination.
Registered voters participate by voting for one candidate for either the Democratic or Republican parties. The winners from each party will then havetheir names placed on the general election ballot in November.
ID Action encourages registered voters to get out and vote in this year’s Primary Election! Be sure to bring photo identification, such as a driver’s license, and your voter identification card with you when you go. Your polling place, which is the location where you should vote, is printed on your voter identification card.
You still have time to register before you cast your vote, or you can register at the same time! Here are a few things you should know when registering to vote before or at a Primary Election:
- Voters must choose to register as either Democrat or Republican in order to vote at the Primary Election.
- If you want to register before the election, contact your County Auditor or the Secretary of State’s office to request a form. These forms are also available to download from their websites.
- You may also register to vote on Election Day at your designated polling place. Your polling place is determined by your home address.
- You can find out your designated polling place by contacting your County Auditor or the Secretary of State’s office. You can also visit the Secretary of State’s website at http://www.sos.state.ia.us/ and enter your address.
