The Waterloo City Council has called a special election to fill a vacancy on the Waterloo City Council representing Ward 2, created when former Councilmember Dave Boesen was elected Mayor in December 2025.I registered as an independent; why does my card say "NP" or "No Party"?
Iowa does not recognize an “independent” party. Instead, “No Party” is used to indicate a lack of affiliation with a political party.
Do absentee ballots even get counted?
Yes. There is a myth that absentee ballots only get counted if the election is close, however, this is not true. Under Iowa law, every ballot must be counted.
