VOTER REGISTRATION AND ELECTION DAY REGISTRATION
Mahaska County Auditor and Commissioner of Elections, Teri Rogers, is asking that eligible voters in Mahaska
County who have not yet registered or changed their Mahaska County address with her office consider doing so
before the early voter registration deadline of 5:00 p.m. Monday, May 20, 2024. After May 20, new
registrations in Mahaska County will be required to follow the same process as those registering on election
day. If voting at the polls, any Mahaska County voter who has not changed their address with the Auditor’s
Office prior to the deadline, will need to change their address at their new voting precinct on election day and
show proof of residency and ID.
Eligible persons are allowed the right to register to vote and cast a ballot on Election Day if they are able to
provide proof of both their identity and residency at the polls. The best form of ID is a valid Iowa Driver’s
license with current address.
Pre-registered voters are required to provide an approved form of identification at the polling place before
receiving and casting a regular ballot. Voters who are not pre-registered – such as voters registering to vote on
election day – and voters changing precincts must also provide proof of residence. A voter who is unable to
provide an approved form of identification (or prove residence if required):
1) May have the voter’s identity / residence attested to by another registered voter in the precinct,
2) Prove identity and residence using Election Day Registration documents, or
3) Cast a provisional ballot and provide proof of identity / residence at the county auditor’s office by Noon,
Monday, June 10th.
Election Day Registrant attesters must provide an approved form of identification and complete the attester’s
oath. For additional information about providing proof of identity and / or residence visit:

Oskaloosa, IA 52577. The Auditor’s office is open weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Any questions
