Pre-Registration:

The voter pre-registration deadline is 10 days before general elections, 11 days before all other elections. When you pre-register, your name will appear on the election register so that you will be able to sign in and vote quickly when you arrive at your polling place on Election Day.

  • Print the above registration form
  • Complete, sign and date
  • Place in an envelope and mail to the following address:
    • Scott County Auditor
      Attn: Voter Registration Form
      600 W. 4th St.
      Davenport, Iowa 52801
  • After registering to vote, you should receive a Scott County Voter Acknowledgment card listing your polling place.  If you do not have an Iowa driver's license or non operator ID card then you will receive a special voter ID card which can be used as your personal identification at the polls instead of a driver's license or non operating card.

Election Day Registration:

You may register to vote on Election Day at the polling place for the precinct where you currently live. If you register to vote on Election Day, you will be required to show proof of residency and identity.

Online Registration and Updates:

Register to vote or update your voter registration online using your Iowa driver’s license or ID number. You will receive your voter registration card from your county auditor within two weeks.
