Government : To the People of House District 84

Greetings from the Capitol!

This morning, the International Relations Committee hosted a delegation of four elected officials from India who are visiting the U.S. to examine our government system and take back ideas to India that help promote policy formulation, decision-making strategies, and civic awareness among today's future leaders. In the photo, you can see some of our guests and committee members on the House floor.

Here is more info on how efficient and secure the elections are in Iowa! Our goal is easier, safer, and secure elections!

Did you know Iowa election officials conduct pre- and post-election audits for every election, to ensure the accuracy of the vote? Every ballot tabulator undergoes a Logic & Accuracy test to ensure it is functioning properly and that each candidate and ballot measure receives the accurate number of votes. These tests take place in view of the public ahead of the election, and both political parties are invited to observe.

Post-election audits take place for a randomly selected precinct in every county following every election. Each vote tabulator in Iowa produces printed results that can be verified with the paper ballots to ensure accuracy. A bipartisan team hand counts the ballots to ensure they match the totals from the voting tabulators.

Have a great weekend and Go Chiefs!
