Early Voting in Iowa Continues At Record Pace

Early voting continues to be way ahead of past numbers in the final two weeks before Election Day. More than 827-thousand Iowans asked for an absentee ballot so they could vote early either in-person at their county auditor’s office or by mail. The Iowa Secretary of State’s website shows nearly 571-thousand Iowans have already voted. Fifty-three percent of them are Democrats, 30 percent are Republicans and the remaining 16 percent are registered as “no party” or independent voters. The latest voter registration data shows there are about 13-thousand more registered Republicans than Democrats in Iowa.
