Polk County, Iowa — Iowans who want to vote by mail in the general election this fall can submit their applications for an absentee ballot starting today, August 30th.
The applications are available at voterready.iowa.gov or at your county auditor’s office. Polk County Auditor Jamie Fitzgerald says unlike in 2020, officials won’t be sending the application forms to voters in the mail.
County auditors can begin mailing ballots to those who request them on October 19th, which is still several weeks away, but Fitzgerald is encouraging voters to submit their requests early.
Fitzgerald says Iowans who want to vote this year should double-check their voter registration and make a plan to vote.
