Voters have a final opportunity today to cast their ballots in Iowa’s city and school board elections.
At stake in the Corridor: Who serves on city councils and school boards, whether Linn County communities can keep paying for infrastructure with a sales tax, if the door remains open to apply again for a Cedar Rapids casino, and the fate of other local ballot questions.

Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Today’s forecast is mostly sunny with highs in the mid-40s. Voters must show an approved identification like a driver's license, voter ID card, passport or military ID.
Find your precinct and see sample ballots through your county auditor:
► In Linn County: linncountyelections.org
► In Johnson County: johnsoncountyiowa.gov/auditor
If you planned to vote absentee but haven’t sent in your ballot, surrender it to the poll workers at your polling place. They will call the auditor's office to void out your absentee request. You will then vote a regular ballot.
To register at the polls, individuals may do so with an ID and potentially proof of address. Details at sos.iowa.gov.
