Iowa SF159 mandates the creation and retention of voter records by state and county election officials.

Iowa SF159 amends the Code to require the state commissioner of elections to create a record of all voter information at the time of each election, organized by county. This record must be maintained for eight years and can be requested electronically at no cost. For counties with a population of less than 100,000, the county commissioner of elections must maintain a similar ballot log, but only for absentee ballots. The logs must exclude personally identifiable information.
