The Iowa legislature has passed a bill that eliminates the option for individuals registering to vote on Election Day to have a relative, neighbor, or friend confirm their identity. The bill requires voters without ID to cast a provisional ballot and later present identification at the county auditor’s office for their vote to be counted. The bill also centralizes the handling of nominating petitions for city and school board elections under county auditors to prevent missed deadlines and ensure candidates’ names appear on ballots. The Senate has approved the bill, which now awaits the governor’s expected approval.
