What information is included in the voter registration database?

The voter registration database maintained by the Iowa Secretary of State includes a variety of important information about registered voters. This data ensures the integrity and functionality of the electoral system in Iowa. Generally, the database contains details such as the voter's name, residential address, and date of birth. It may also include the voter's identification number and sometimes their driver's license number or state identification number. Additionally, the database records the date when the voter registered, updates made to their registration status, and any changes in their voting precinct. Voter status can also be reflected in the database to indicate whether a voter is active or inactive based on their voting history. The Iowa Secretary of State places a strong emphasis on protecting the privacy of its citizens. Therefore, while the database is comprehensive, certain sensitive information is kept confidential and not publicly accessible.
