Are you one of the approximately 18,000 Iowans who requested an absentee ballot and never returned it to your county auditor? If you answered yes and you still have your ballot in your possession, DO NOT MAIL your ballot! Unlike in years past postmarks do not count. At this point you can either:1) make a plan to hand deliver it to your county auditor by 8:00 P.

UPDATED: More info has been added to the information about the Judges.---Every year my phone rings at election time. "Do you know anything about..." So BEFORE election day, I thought I'd do some research. On the front of the ballot you have all the federal, state and county candidates. This would be all of the yard signs we've seen. I think we all know about them, and if we don't, well, it's probably not a good idea to vote anyway.

Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate gathered his ‘Election Security A Team’ for a news conference Thursday to reassure voters of the many steps taken to provide a secure election. Leaders of state and federal agencies were on hand at the Iowa National Guard’s Joint Forces Headquarters to provide information on what they’re doing to ensure a safe, smooth, and accurate voting process on November 8.

Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate is adding another layer of protection to Iowa’s electoral process by expanding post-election audits. All 99 counties will be required to conduct a hand count audit of two races following the November 2022 general election. Previously, they audited one race. One randomly selected precinct in each county will hand count the votes for the Governor’s race to match with the ballot tabulators to ensure the accuracy of the vote.
