VOTING
RESTRICTIONS
Iowa has enacted two sweeping and unprecedented voter suppression laws which shorten the number of days and times that people are eligible to vote during. It also makes a voter “inactive” if they miss one federal election. Should county auditors not follow this rule, they could face criminal prosecution.
