Iowa HF160 mandates provisional ballots for voters registering on election day or casting in-person absentee ballots.

Iowa HF160 amends voting procedures to require provisional ballots for individuals registering to vote on election day or casting an in-person absentee ballot. The absentee and special voters precinct board verifies voter eligibility against a state database. If the voter has not been convicted of a felony or has had their voting rights restored, the provisional ballot is counted. This change ensures that all voters, regardless of registration timing, follow a consistent process for ballot casting.
