Election Officials Have A Reminder If You’ve Moved In The Past 12 Months

March 02, 2023 Steve Schwaller

(Des Moines)– Here’s an important reminder if you’ve moved within the last year: make sure you update your voter registration. Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate says notices are being mailed to more than 90,000 voters in Iowa who have filed a change of address with the U.S. Postal Service during the past 12 months…

“Well we want Iowa’s voter rolls to be as up to date and accurate as possible. Tens of thousands of Iowans move within the state each year. This is an important yearly procedure to ensure that those moves are reflected accurately in the voter registration data base.”

Pate says they have data showing that 38,804 registered voters moved within their county during the past year, with 52,144 having moved outside their county, but still within the State of Iowa.
