General Election Absentee Voting Update

July 21, 2020

GENERAL ELECTION UPDATE!!

The filing deadline for the General Election is Wednesday, August 26, 2020.

The Secretary of State's office will again be mailing out an absentee ballot request form to all of Iowa's active registered voters. After a recent emergency election directive, they are hoping this will be mailed in late August to allow us more time to process. If you have already mailed one in, you do not need to send in another unless we have notified you of missing required information.

**As the law currently states, the first day we can mail out a ballot for the General Election is Monday October 5, 2020!!**

Any questions, please let us know. 319-472-2365

 

You can also download an absentee ballot request form here to mail into our office at: 

Benton County Auditor

PO Box 549

Vinton, IA 52349

Remember to follow the Absentee Ballot Request form Instructions included on the request form:
