Statewide Iowa — Election Day is four weeks away, but the leaders of both of Iowa’s major political parties are urging their fellow partisans to vote early.
Governor Kim Reynolds and Senator Joni Ernst have helped the Iowa GOP fund an early voting effort.
Reynolds says the goal is to “bank” as many early votes as possible.
The Iowa Democratic Party chair Rita Hart notes the party’s website lists “early in person” as the recommended way to vote in 2024.
Kira Barker is executive director of Polk County Democrats. She says they’ve delivered a placard that lists all the deadlines for absentee ballots, early voting and election day voting to 140 thousand doors in Iowa’s largest county.
October 16th is the the first day Iowans may vote at county auditors’ offices. It’s also the day county auditors may begin mailing absentee ballots to voters who requested one.
