Absentee ballots may be cast starting Monday

Voting in the November 6th election can begin on Monday.

Winneshiek County Auditor Ben Steines says his office will begin mailing out absentee ballots Monday for the General Election to people who have requested them.  Voters can also go to the County Auditor's office in the Courthouse from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. weekdays and vote in the office. 

The changes to voter laws passed last year by the state legislature will be in place for Election Day.  Voters can get more information about the changes by visiting https://sos.iowa.gov/elections/voterinformation/voterIDfaq.html or by calling (563) 382-5085 during office hours.
