For the second month in a row, registered Republicans in Iowa slightly outnumber registered Democrats. The latest figures from the Iowa Secretary of State’s office (pdf) show 669,966 active no-party voters statewide, 608,096 active Republicans, and 599,225 active Democrats. Follow me after the jump for the latest active voter registration numbers in all 99 Iowa counties, grouped by Congressional district.

What's the reason?
Are more Democrats leaving to the non-affiliated category? Are Republicans just doing a better job getting new voters? I’m moving to Iowa in a few days so next month you’ll get at least one more Democrat.

they are cleaning up the voter rolls
If you compare the county numbers to those from February, you’ll see that there are fewer active registered voters in all categories. Democrats have lost a bit more than Republicans during that process.
Earlier this year, lots of Democrats and no-party voters registered as Republicans to participate in the Iowa caucuses. I expect more of that in June, because there are a lot more competitive GOP primaries around the state than Democratic primaries.
Welcome to Iowa!
