A bill for an act relating to eligibility to vote or stand for election in a primary election or caucus.

HF 353 changes Iowa's primary election rules by requiring candidates to have been members of their political party for at least one year before filing for nomination, and voters to have been registered with a party for 30 days prior to the primary election. It repeals rules allowing voters to change party affiliation on election day or via absentee ballot requests. Exceptions apply to voters who have never participated in a primary or general election before and are not registered with another party. These changes affect candidates running for office and voters participating in Iowa's partisan primary elections.
