Updated voter registration numbers in Iowa's Congressional districts

by: desmoinesdem

Fri Nov 02, 2012 at 10:31:10 AM CDT

The latest figures from the Iowa Secretary of State's office show larger numbers of registered Democrats, Republicans, and no-party voters statewide compared to last month. Democrats and no-party voters gained more registrants than Republicans, possibly because of voter registration drives on college campuses around the state. As of November 1 (pdf), Iowa had 694,558 active no-party voters statewide, 629,443 active Republicans, and 628,043 active Democrats. That's the smallest GOP voter registration advantage since April.

After the jump I've posted the latest active voter registration numbers in all 99 Iowa counties, grouped by Congressional district. Any comments about next Tuesday's elections are welcome in this thread. Iowans can register to vote on election day by bringing photo identification and proof of residency (like a utility bill or bank statement) to their local precinct.

Where's the press release, AJ? (4.00 / 2)

All that bragging about the GOP "increasing its edge" and Dems wipe it out in about 2 months

I was wondering that too (0.00 / 0)

maybe Republicans are too busy tweeting this memo on why Mitt Romney will win Iowa to draft a press release on the voter registration numbers.

Registration rules (0.00 / 0)

Election day registration rules apply to early voting after the pre-registration deadline. For example, if someone who is not registered wants to vote early this Saturday at the courthouse, they can register there when they vote. Since the Oct. 27 pre-registration deadline has passed, they will have to show proof of ID and proof of residence. They do not have to wait until election day to vote.

That's what my county auditor said. (0.00 / 0)

The SOS web site is silent about registration between the pre-registration deadline and election day.
