DES MOINES – Secretary of State Paul Pate is partnering with the Iowa Cubs to promote our state’s unique first-in-the-nation caucus status and help Cubs fans register to vote. The Iowa Cubs will temporarily change their team name to the Iowa Caucuses for this Friday’s game against the Memphis Redbirds.

Secretary Pate’s staff will be on hand at the game to help attendees register to vote or update their registration. He also invited the Republican Party of Iowa and Iowa Democratic Party to attend and inform Iowans about the caucus process. Although approximately 90 percent of Iowans are registered to vote, Pate says it is important to keep your registration up-to-date with your current address. Friday’s game, he says, is an ideal opportunity to check your status.

The Secretary of State will have voter registration forms and online tablets available at the entrance gates for Friday’s game. Additionally, they will be giving away free Women’s Suffrage Centennial Celebration bookmarks and Iowa League of Heroes #BeAVoter trading cards.
