Iowa HF353 amends voter eligibility rules for primary elections and caucuses.

Iowa HF353 modifies voter eligibility for primary elections and caucuses. It requires voters to be registered with a political party for 30 days before voting in a primary or caucus. Voters who have not previously cast a ballot in any primary or general election and are not members of another party can vote in the primary or caucus of any party. The bill also prohibits filing nomination papers for a candidate who has not been a member of the party for at least one year before the filing date, unless the candidate meets the same voter eligibility criteria.
