Can I use power of attorney to request a ballot for my spouse, child or parent?
No. Under Iowa law, power of attorney does not apply for all election related matters.
What is the last day I can turn in my absentee ballot?
You are allowed to hand-deliver your ballot to the Auditor’s office up until the time the polls close on Election Day. If you return your ballot through the mail, your ballot must arrive by 8PM. on Election Day, with exceptions for individuals in the Safe at Home program and military/overseas citizens.
