(Des Moines) As the November 4th City-School Election approaches, Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate and members of Iowa’s election security team are reinforcing Iowa’s election security with voters. Thanks to numerous safeguards in place to protect the integrity of Iowa elections, Iowa remains a top-ranked state for election administration.
Iowa has also received numerous awards in relation to election administration from the National Association of Secretaries of State and the Election Assistance Commission. Secretary Pate credits the success of Iowa’s election processes to the state’s layered approach to election security and robust partnerships at the local, state, and federal levels.

This team includes the Iowa Department of Public Safety, Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, Iowa Department of Management, Division of Information Technology, the Iowa National Guard, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Iowa’s 99 county auditors and thousands of local election officials and poll workers.
