IMPORTANT CHANGES FOR VOTERS FOR PRIMARY ELECTION ON JUNE 4, 2024
The 2024 Primary election will be held on June 4, 2024. The Primary election will use the regular general election precincts. Voters will go to the polls for this election at the same place they vote for a regular General (Presidential or Gubernatorial) election.
Eligible voters in Hardin County may request an absentee ballot for the Primary election from the Hardin County Auditor’s Office. Requests for an absentee ballot to be mailed must be received at the Hardin County Auditor’s Office through May 20, 2024 by 5:00 p.m..
The absentee ballots will be available for the Primary election on May 15, 2024. This is the first day that absentee ballots may be mailed to voters. It is also the first day to vote absentee in person at the County Auditor’s Office. Eligible voters may vote in person at the County Auditor’s Office until June 3, 2024 at 4:30 p.m. The Auditor’s office will be open Saturday, June 1, 2024 from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for in person absentee voting also.
All absentee ballots must be received by the County Auditor by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day, June 4, 2024. Postmarks or bar codes printed on ballot envelopes will no longer make a ballot received after Election Day valid. Only ballots from participants in the Safe at Home program received by the Secretary of State and ballots from uniformed and overseas citizens confirmed to be sent on the day before the election or earlier by postmark or postal service barcode and received by noon on Monday, June 10, 2024, following the election will be permitted for late postmark.
Absentee ballot request forms must include the date the request is signed. The request forms may not be sent to a voter by the County Auditor unless a voter requests a form. Absentee ballot request forms may be sent to voters by candidates, political groups, and other private organizations, but no fields on the request form may be prefilled except for the type and date of election.
The only people who may return a voted absentee ballot to the County Auditor’s Office other than the voter are; someone living in the voter’s household, an immediate family member, the special precinct election officials who deliver a ballot to the resident of a health care facility, or a delivery agent if a voter is unable to return a ballot due to blindness or other disability.
The deadline to pre-register to vote in the Primary election, is May 20, 2024. If an eligible elector is not already registered to vote, he or she may do so in one of the following ways:
- Register to vote by mail: Voter registration forms are available on the Hardin County website – www.hardincountyiowa.gov – under the heading “I Want to ….?” Click on “Register to Vote” to download a voter registration form. The completed form should be delivered or mailed to your County Auditor.
- Register to vote in person at the County Auditor’s Office by May 20 at 5:00 p.m.
- Register to vote online: Voters may go to https://sos.iowa.gov/ and follow the online voter registration link. An Iowa driver’s license or non-operator ID is required for online registration.
Eligible electors may also register to vote on Election Day with both proof of identity and proof of residency. This “SAME DAY VOTER REGISTRATION” procedure may slow up the voting experience for voters choosing to wait until Election Day to register and vote at the polling site.
Polls will be open for the Primary election on June 4, 2024 from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. For a provisional ballot to be counted, the voter must either provide the necessary identification at the polling place before it closes at 8:00 p.m. or provide the necessary identification at the County Auditor’s Office by noon on June 10, 2024. Employers must allow employees two consecutive hours to vote on Election Day if the employee does not already have two consecutive hours off during the time the polls are open.
