Governor Kim Reynolds signed the Stop Fraud Act into law, creating new tools to help protect Iowa residents and businesses from fraud.

As Iowa's business portal, we're proud to support efforts that strengthen the integrity of Iowa's business filing system and help prevent Iowa residences from being used as fictitious business addresses.

Thank you to the Better Business Bureau, Iowa Bankers Association, Iowa Association of Business and Industry (ABI), NFIB, Iowa Department of Transportation, members of the Legislature, and bill champions Representative Holt, Representative Lawler, Senator Westrich, Majority Leader Klimesh, and Governor Reynolds for helping make this effort possible.

Voters in Iowa have the right to make their voice heard with the power of their vote. In our state, each and every voter has the opportunity to request assistance while voting.

This can be done in a variety of ways. A prime example is the ability to use an accessible ballot marking device in each and every polling place. Curbside voting is available on Election Day and at the county auditor’s office during in-person absentee voting.

For more information regarding these methods of voting, contact your county auditor or visit sos.iowa.gov/disabilities.
