Black Hawk County will elect members of the Board of Supervisors by district beginning in 2026, following changes enacted in Senate File 75, which was passed by the Iowa Legislature in 2025.Do I have to register to vote for every election?
No. You would only need to re-register if your information has changed and you need to update it.
Can an independent vote in a primary election?
Yes and No. In Iowa, you must be a member of a political party (currently: Republican and Democratic) to vote in a primary election. However, anyone* can change parties on Election Day and vote. For independents to vote they must declare a political party.
*Precinct election officials may not change political parties within 30 days of an election.
