Republican Voter Registration Outnumbers Democrats in Iowa

Voter registration has increased leading up to Tuesday’s General Election.

Nearly 80-thousand Iowans have become active registered voters in the past month. 

As of November 1st, Republicans have a 173-thousand voter registration edge over Democrats in Iowa – a slight increase from October 1st. The number of independent voters in Iowa grew by 25-thousand over the past month — with half a million Iowans registered as independent or “no party” voters. 

The latest data from county auditors and the Iowa Secretary of State’s office also shows Republicans outnumber Democrats in each of Iowa’s four congressional districts. 

As of Thursday night, more than 556-thousand Iowans had already voted by mail or in person at an early voting site in their county.
