Check Henry County polling places and voting requirements

MT. PLEASANT — Henry County residents can make their voices heard as they head to the polling places this Tuesday, Nov. 7 for the county’s city and school elections.

Those wishing to vote in person on the day of the election should report to their respective polling places according to their precinct determined by their residence between 7 a.m.-8 p.m.

Pre-registered voters must provide an approved form of identification at their polling place before receiving and casting a regular ballot.

According to the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office approved identification includes Iowa Voter Identification Card, Iowa Driver’s License, Iowa Non-Operator ID, U.S. Military ID or Veteran ID, U.S. Passport, or Tribal ID Card/Document.

“A voter without one of the above forms of ID may have the voter’s identity attested to by another registered voter in the precinct or may prove identity and residence using Election Day Registration documents,” the Iowa Secretary of State website says.

Voters without the necessary ID or an attester can cast a provisional ballot and can provide ID to the auditor’s office up until the time of the county canvass of votes.

Votes that moved to a different different district within Henry County must provide proof of residence if their approved identification does not reflect the new address.

Voters can prove proof of residence with one of the following: residential lease, utility bill, cell phone bill, bank statement, paycheck, government check, other government document, or property tax statement.

These may be provided in print or through electronic format, such as a cell phone. They must include the voter’s name and current address. They must be no more than 45 days old.
