DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz is reminding Iowa voters that early voting for the June 3, 2014 primary election starts on Thursday, April 24.

“I hope all eligible Iowans take full advantage of their right to vote by registering to vote and casting a ballot either early in-person, by mail or at the polls on Election Day,” Schultz said. “Every vote counts and it’s important that Iowans participate to make sure their voices are heard.”

To vote in Iowa, eligible voters can:

  • Cast a ballot early by filling out an absentee ballot in-person at their county auditor’s office or at possible satellite locations as designated by the county auditor starting Thursday, April 24 through Monday, June 2.
  • Request an absentee ballot by mail.
  • Vote at their designated precinct polling place on Election Day.

Registering to vote is easy. Simply download the State of Iowa Official Voter Registration Form fromwww.sos.iowa.gov and return it to your local county auditor’s office or visit your local county auditor’s office to fill out a paper copy.

Absentee ballots received by the county auditor before 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 3 are eligible for counting. Absentee ballots that are returned by mail and received after the polls close must have a postmark of Monday, June 2 or earlier to be considered for counting.

The Iowa Secretary of State’s office offers a comprehensive app called Iowa SOS available for both Android andApple devices to ensure voting resources are at voter’s fingertips. From the Iowa SOS app, Iowans can do the following:

  • Check voter registration information

  • Request an absentee ballot
