SSB 1088 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to voter registration, including voter registration file maintenance and verification of voter eligibility.

This bill establishes a centralized statewide voter registration database in Iowa, replacing county-level systems by 2007. It requires automatic cross-checks with DMV records, felony conviction databases, and death records to verify eligibility, and mandates annual verification of all registrations. Voters who self-report non-citizenship on registration forms will have their records marked "unconfirmed," and officials must cancel registrations for ineligible voters identified through these checks. The system affects all registered Iowa voters and election officials, standardizing how registration data is maintained, verified, and updated.
