Black Hawk County will elect members of the Board of Supervisors by district beginning in 2026, following changes enacted in Senate File 75, which was passed by the Iowa Legislature in 2025.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.
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.
