470 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER
To vote by mail, you must request a ballot early enough before election day to allow time for your ballot to be mailed to you and for you to return your ballot to the county auditor on time. You must request an absentee ballot in writing using either the “Official Absentee Ballot Request Form” or a sheet of paper no smaller than three inches by five inches in size that contains the required information. You may call the county auditor’s office or the Office of Secretary of State to request that the official form be mailed to you. The request form can also be obtained online at the Secretary of State’s website and at some county auditors’ websites. The request for an absen- tee ballot may be sent by fax to the county auditor’s office. However, you must also mail the original request to the county auditor and it must be postmarked before election day. E-mail ab- sentee ballot applications cannot be accepted. A request for the county auditor to mail an absentee ballot must be received by the auditor no later than 5 p.m. on the Friday before the election. The ballot will be mailed to you as soon as it is ready. For primary and general elections, ballots are required by law to be ready no later than 40 days before the election. For other elections, absentee ballots are made available as soon as possible. Check with the county auditor’s office for the specific date. If your absentee ballot request is received after the ballots are printed, the ballot will be mailed within 24 hours. If your ballot is delayed, check with the county auditor’s office to be sure that the request was received. Voted absentee ballots may be returned by mail or in person, by the voter or the voter’s desig- nee. Absentee ballots need not be witnessed or notarized. If returned by mail, ballots must be postmarked no later than the day before the election and received by the county auditor no later than noon on the Monday following the primary election, general election, and most other elec- tions. The deadline is earlier for school elections and elections for cities with runoff provisions. If returned in person, ballots must be returned no later than the time the polls close for that elec- tion. Absentee ballots should not be returned to polling places unless the person who requested the ballot wants to vote at the polls instead. No absentee ballots delivered to the polling places will be counted. Special provisions are made for voters who are members of the U.S. armed forces, who are overseas, or who are patients in hospitals or other health care facilities. For more information contact: Office of the Secretary of State, Lucas State Office Building, Des Moines 50319; www.sos.state.ia.us; (515) 281-5760 voice or TDD, or call 1 (888) SOS- VOTE; or your county auditor. VOTER REGISTRATION You may register to vote by postcard form or in person if: 1. You are a citizen of the United States. 2. You are a resident of Iowa. 3. You will be at least 18 years old on or before election day. If you are 17 1/2 years old, you may register to vote, but your registration will not be effective until your 18th birthday.
If you move within the county where you are registered to vote, you may change your address before the close of registration: 1. By notifying the county auditor in writing. Include your full name as it appears on the voter registration records, your old and new addresses, and your signature. If more than one person is submitting a change, each person must sign the notice. 2. By completing a voter registration form. Only one change may be submitted on each form.
3. By making the change in person at the county auditor’s office or other registration sites.
For primary and general elections, registration closes at 5 p.m. 10 days before the election. For all other elections, registration closes at 5 p.m. 11 days before the election. However, after the close of registration for an election, a person may register to vote, and vote in that election, on election day at the polling place or prior to election day at the commissioner’s office or an absen- tee satellite voting station, if the person provides identification and makes a written oath.
