Absentee, early voting, extra hours detailed

Details of absentee and early voting as well as extended hours for in-person voting at the Butler County Auditor’s Office have been announced by County Auditor Lizbeth Williams.
Any registered voter who would like to receive an absentee ballot must submit his or her request in writing to the auditor using an Absentee Ballot Request form or on paper no smaller than 3-inch-by-5-inch that includes voter’s name, date of birth, residential address, mailing address, the date or name of the election and voter’s signature. Mail to: Butler County Auditor Lizbeth Williams, P.O. Box 325, Allison, IA 50602. Deadline to request a ballot by mail is 5 p.m., Friday, November 4.
Absentee Ballot Request forms can be found on the Butler County website at www.butlercoiowa. org, your local library or city hall.
The Auditor’s Office will mail you a form, if need be, but you must request that they do so. The political parties are mailing out Absentee Ballot Request forms that are sometimes pre-filled. You can use those, as well, but please make sure the information is correct and complete. A voter only needs to send ONE request form to receive a ballot.
