HF 290 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act providing for the registration of eligible electors upon review of electronic records received from state agencies, and including effective date provisions.

HF 290 (Iowa) creates automatic voter registration for eligible residents applying for or renewing a driver's license or ID card. When someone applies at a DMV office, their information is electronically sent to the voter registration system, and they are automatically registered to vote unless they actively decline within 21 days. This affects all Iowa residents applying for or renewing driver's licenses or ID cards, shifting registration from paper forms to an electronic process. The bill also requires other state agencies collecting voter-eligible data (like the Department of Education) to transmit that information to voter registration systems.
