Iowa is sending all active registered voters an absentee ballot application for the Nov. 3 general election this weekend, the Iowa Secretary of State’s office announced Friday.
“Iowans have options about how they choose to cast their vote,†Secretary of State Paul Pate (R) said in a statement.
“You can vote from home, you can vote in-person at your county auditor’s office, or at the polls on Election Day. The key is we want every eligible Iowan to participate and to be safe while voting.â€
The applications include pre-paid, first class mail postage. The state sent every registered voter a mail-in ballot application during the June 2 GOP primary, which resulted in record-high voter participation of more than 530,000 Iowans, according to Pate.
