Black Hawk County Auditor and Commissioner of Elections, Karen Showalter, is encouraging voters to update their registration and respond to mail notices as part of ongoing voter list maintenance.If I change my mind on who I want to vote for after I have returned my ballot, can I get a new one?
No. If you have already returned your absentee ballot to the Auditor’s office you may not request a new ballot if you have changed your mind on who you wish to vote for.
Do absentee ballots even get counted?
Yes. There is a myth that absentee ballots only get counted if the election is close, however, this is not true. Under Iowa law, every ballot must be counted.
