Register to Vote in Franklin County, IA
Here's what to expect at the County Auditor — fees, what to bring, and where to go.
In Iowa the county auditor, not the recorder, keeps the voter rolls: “The county auditor of each county is designated as the county commissioner of elections … The county commissioner of elections shall conduct voter registration” (Iowa Code § 47.2(1)). The Secretary of State: “complete a voter registration form and return it to your county auditor’s office”, or register online through the Department of Transportation with an Iowa driver's licence or ID. Pre-registration closes 15 days before an election; you may also register at the polls on election day with proof of identity and residence.
Return the form to the county auditor, the county commissioner of elections (Iowa Code 47.2).
