Greetings Fellow Iowans:

I am honored to serve as your Secretary of State and Iowa's State Commissioner of Elections. I will do everything I can to ensure the integrity, security and fairness of Iowa's election process. Elections are the foundation of our great state and nation, and the votes of our citizens merit protection.

If you have a pertinent voting related question or if you witness questionable activity related to an election, please fill out the Voter Hotline Form below. You may also call our Voter Hotline at 1-888-SOS-VOTE. The information provided will be sent directly to the Iowa Secretary of State's Election Division and we will respond to you as soon as possible.

Increasing participation and protecting the integrity of Iowa elections is vital. Thank you for helping us do that!

Paul D. Pate
Iowa Secretary of State
