Voting Absentee
Voters may cast an absentee ballot in any election. A written absentee ballot request must be received from the voter for each election and each voter must sign their own request. You may fill out an official absentee request form or you may submit a written request on a piece of paper no smaller than 3x5 inches. This request must contain the following information:
• Name
• Date of Birth
• Address (this must be a street address, not a PO Box)
• Mailing address for the absentee ballot, if different from the address where you are registered
• Political Party affiliation – for Primary elections only
• Name and/or Date of election (e.g. General Election, November 2, 2010)
• Signature and date
You may vote absentee by mail, or in person at the Auditor’s Office. You may not take a ballot home with you. Iowa law requires that you either vote in the Auditor’s Office, or have the ballot sent to you by mail. If you receive your ballot by mail, you may either return the voted ballot by mail (return postage is already paid) or return it in person to the Auditor’s office. For more information on voting absentee, you may visit the Secretary of State absentee site or call the Boone County Auditor’s office at 515-433-0502.
