Iowa SF541 modifies election administration procedures, including absentee voting, election board convening times, and record-keeping requirements.

Iowa SF541 introduces changes to the administration of elections, focusing on absentee voting and election board procedures. It mandates that absentee ballot materials include the voter’s four-digit personal identification number. The bill prohibits special elections from being held on the first, second, or third Tuesdays before or after city or school elections. It requires county commissioners of elections to inform the county sheriff if an acknowledgment of an election day and in-person absentee registration form sent by the commissioner does not receive a response from the voter.
