4 PRESS RELEASE: (Recommended to publish or broadcast Thursday, November 3 rd and Friday, November 4 th.) LAST MINUTE CONCERNS FOR ABSENTEE VOTERS My absentee ballot has finally arrived in the mail. But I m afraid my ballot won t be received in the election office in time to be counted! You have several options: Mail your ballot. It will be counted as long as it arrives in the election office by Tuesday, November 8 th, or it is postmarked no later than Monday, November 7 th or Personally deliver your absentee ballot to the county election office. You can take your ballot to the election office before 8 P.M. on Tuesday, November 8 th, or Vote at the polls. You can take your unvoted absentee ballot with you to the polls and give it to the election officials, allowing you to vote in the normal manner. If you forget your ballot or cannot find it, you will be asked to vote a provisional ballot, which means that your ballot will be put into an envelope for later consideration. I voted early by absentee ballot, but have changed my mind. Can I get my ballot back? No. MAHASKA COUNTY AUDITOR S OFFICE, COURT HOUSE, OSKALOOSA IA 52577

5 (Recommended to publish or broadcast Monday, November 7th) LAST MINUTE CONCERNS OF PEOPLE WHO GO TO THE POLLS ON ELECTION DAY: What if I go to the polls and they tell me I can t vote because I requested an absentee ballot? You will be asked to fill out a form saying that you did not receive an absentee ballot. You can then vote a provisional ballot, which will be put into an envelope. On Wednesday, November 9th, the Special Precinct Board will consider provisional ballots. What do I do if I have moved since the last time I voted? If you still live in the county where you were last registered to vote, go to the polling site for your new address. Take a current picture identification with your current address with you. You will be asked to complete a voter registration form with your new address, and you can vote in the usual manner. If your ID is not current, call the Audtior s office (641) for additional instructions. What if I don t have my voter registration card any more? If you are registered at the correct precinct, you do not need your voter registration card to vote. If you are asked for identification, show your current driver s license or other picture identification. What if I go to the polls and they tell me I am at the wrong precinct? Find out where your correct voting precinct is located and vote there.. What if I go to the polls and they tell me I am not registered to vote? You can register to vote at the polls on Election Day. You will be required to show proof of residency and proof of identity. The best form of ID is a valid Iowa driver s license with current address. If your Iowa driver s license has an old address on it, please contact the Auditor s office (641) for additional requirements. Can another voter attest for me if I do not have proof of residence or identity? If you do not have proof of residence and identity, a registered voter in the precinct may attest to the fact that you are who you say you are and that you live in the precinct you say you live in. If you have a registered voter in the precinct attest to your residence and identity, you will both be required to sign an oath. Falsely attesting or being attested for is a class D felony. If you do not have proof of residence or identity and do not have anyone who can attest to your residence and identity, you will be allowed to vote a provisional ballot. The special precinct board will meet Thursday, November 9th, to consider provisional ballots.
