Iowans can request absentee ballots
Iowans can now request absentee ballots for the November general election.
State law allows Iowans to request absentee ballots beginning 70 days before an election. County auditors will begin mailing absentee ballots to those that requested them starting Oct. 19. That is also the first day Iowans can vote in-person for the Nov. 8 election.
Absentee ballot request forms are available on the secretary of state’s website. Voters need to download the form and mail it to their county auditor. Providing a phone number or email address on the form is encouraged, but not required.
Military members stationed outside the U.S. and overseas citizens can also begin requesting absentee ballots for the November general election. For more information to help prepare for the general election, Iowans are encouraged to visit VoterReady.Iowa.gov.
Suicide prevention program Sept. 27
ISU Extension and Outreach will host “Question. Persuade. Refer.” on Tuesday, Sept. 27, from noon-1:30 p.m. at the Osceola Regional Health Wellness Center Multipurpose Room in Sibley. The program is free to attend, and all are welcome.
Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help.
A complimentary lunch will be provided to all registered participants. To register or for more information, contact Sandy Lamfers at (712) 754-3648, email [email protected] or register online at https://go.iastate.edu/YD9KQA.
