(Radio Iowa) – More than 90 percent of eligible Iowans are registered to vote — and the Secretary of State reports there are a record number of nearly two-point-one MILLION active voters in the state. The monthly report from the Iowa Secretary of State’s office shows there are about 20-thousand more registered Republican voters in Iowa compared to Democrats. A third block of no party or independent voters account for most of the rest.

Sorted out by congressional districts, Republicans have a huge advantage in the fourth district, where registered Republican voters outnumber Democrats by nearly 80-thousand, while Democrats have more registered voters than Democrats in each of the other three congressional districts.

In the third, there are about 10-thousand more registered Democrats than Republicans. And, in BOTH the second and first congressional districts, Democrats hold a roughly 24-thousand voter registration edge over Republicans.
