All, 

As election day gets closer, we are going to start getting inundated with voting questions. I have added a page on the website that contains links that tell people how to:

• check if they are registered to vote already
• register to vote
• update voter information
• request an absentee ballot
• track an absentee ballot
• find their polling place
• vote early through in-person absentee ballots at the Polk County Auditor’s office beginning Sept 29 through Nov 7
• and vote early with satelitte in-person absentee ballots at Johnston Public Library Monday through Friday, 10-4 from October 17-October 28 and on Saturday, October 29 from 10-4.
