Pilot Mound, Iowa Public Records

Iowa residents can register to vote online at sos.iowa.gov/elections/voterinformation through the Iowa Secretary of State's website, by mail using a voter registration form, or in person at the Auditor's office or any Iowa driver's license station. The state offers same-day voter registration at polling places on Election Day with proper identification and proof of residence. Voters must be U.S. Citizens, Iowa residents, at least 18 years old by Election Day, and not currently declared incompetent by a court. Registration deadlines fall 10 days before an election for mail registration, though residents can register in person through Election Day. Acceptable identification includes Iowa driver's license, Iowa non-operator ID, military ID, passport, tribal ID, or other government-issued ID; voters without ID can cast a provisional ballot or have another registered voter from their precinct attest to their identity. As an unincorporated community, Pilot Mound does not hold municipal elections for mayor or city council, so residents vote only in county, state, and federal elections. Local voters participate in Boone County supervisor elections, county office elections (auditor, recorder, treasurer, attorney, sheriff), soil and water conservation district elections, and school board elections for United Community School District. Voters can look up their specific polling place assignment by visiting the Iowa Secretary of State's polling place finder at sos.iowa.gov/elections/electioninfo/pollingplaces or by contacting the Boone County Auditor at (515) 433-0562. Polling places are typically assigned based on precinct boundaries aligned with residential addresses. County-level results showed competitive races reflecting Iowa's swing-state status. Iowa does not have a U.S.Current federal, state, and local election schedules, ballot contests, candidate filings, and certified results for Pilot voters are published by the Iowa Secretary of State (https://sos.iowa.gov/elections/). Voters will elect Iowa state legislators, as all 100 Iowa House seats are elected every two years and half of the 50 Iowa Senate seats are up every two years. Boone County voters will likely decide county offices including Board of Supervisors seats, and potentially county attorney, sheriff, auditor, recorder, or treasurer depending on term expirations. Any local school board positions for United Community School District that are up for election will also appear on the ballot. Iowa offers no-excuse absentee voting, allowing any registered voter to request an absentee ballot without providing a reason. Absentee ballot requests can be submitted online through the Iowa Secretary of State's website, by mail, or in person at the Boone County Auditor's office. Absentee ballots can be requested starting 120 days before an election and must be received by the Auditor by the day before Election Day. Voters can return absentee ballots by mail (must be postmarked by the day before Election Day and received by noon on Election Day), in person at the Auditor's office, or at the voter's polling place on Election Day. Iowa election records that are public include voter registration lists (with some information redacted), precinct-by-precinct election results, candidate filings and statements, and campaign finance reports. The Iowa Secretary of State maintains statewide databases of election results at sos.iowa.gov. Campaign finance reports for state and county candidates are filed with the Iowa Ethics & Campaign Disclosure Board and searchable at ethics.iowa.gov. Local precinct results for Boone County elections are published by the Boone County Auditor and posted on the Boone County website following certification.
