Iowa Code §48A.9 (registration closes fifteen days before the election) and §53.2 (absentee requests are due the same day). You can still register at your polling place on election day, with ID and proof of where you live. ↩
Iowa Code §49.73. An absentee ballot returned by mail or in person must reach the county auditor before the polls close. ↩
Expected from when the seat was last elected and the length of its term, on Iowa’s election calendar. A vacancy, a special election or a city charter change can alter it; candidates replace it once they file. ↩

Voting dates are worked out from Iowa’s election calendar and the Iowa Code. A special election, or a change in the law, can move them; the county auditor has the final word.
