A primary election allows voters to choose the candidates who will represent their political party in the general election. In Iowa, voters must be registered as either a Democrat or Republican to participate in that party’s primary. Voters who are currently listed as no party affiliation may update their party registration at their polling place on Election Day or during early voting at the Auditor’s Office.
Early voting
Early voting is available at the Black Hawk County Courthouse through the remainder of the week from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Monday, June 1, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Mailed absentee ballots must be received by the Auditor’s Office no later than 8:00 p.m. on Election Day to be counted. A secure drop box is available outside the courthouse for voter convenience. Voters are reminded that with five days or less remaining before the election, the USPS cannot guarantee delivery in time for ballots to be received by Election Day.
Voter registration
If you need to register to vote and cast your ballot, you may do so at the courthouse or on Election Day. Voters must provide a valid ID and proof of residency.
County auditor statement
“Voting in a primary election gives residents an important voice in selecting their party’s candidates for the general election,” said Karen Showalter, Black Hawk County Auditor. “We encourage voters to review their polling information, make a plan to vote, and take part in the election process.”
