Absentee
Voter Requirements:
Any
registered voter may, subject to the provisions below, vote absentee
at any election. Iowa's provisions that allow you to vote absentee
are these:
- When
you expect that on election day, you will be absent from your
precinct during the time period in which the polls are open.
- When,
through illness or physical disability, you expect to be prevented
from going to the polls and voting on election day.
- When
you expect to be unable to go to the polls and vote on election
day.
A person
who has been designated to have power of attorney by a registered
voter does not have the authority to request or to cast an absentee
ballot on behalf of the registered voter.
There
are several ways to vote by absentee ballot. You may ask
for a ballot by mail or in person at the county auditor's office.
For some elections, you may vote in person at a satellite voting
station. If you live at a health care facility or are hospitalized
and request an absentee ballot, the ballot will be brought to you.
