Iowa HF397 amends the address confidentiality program to allow participants to register as absentee voters and manage mail forwarding.

Iowa HF397 modifies the address confidentiality program by allowing participants to register as absentee voters for the duration of their certification period. It also mandates that the state or county commissioner of elections cancel a participant's voter registration if they are aware the participant is registered in another state. The bill permits the secretary to forward mail to a program participant and hold it for up to 30 days upon request. Additionally, it allows participants to provide a shelter's name and contact information instead of their physical address.
