Dear Families and Community Members,
With the November 7 bond issue nearly a month away, I want to take a moment to share some information on absentee voting.
Registered voters are eligible to submit an application for an absentee ballot to their County Auditor’s Office beginning 70 days before an election—a time frame we are now within. The deadline to request a mailed absentee ballot is 5:00 PM on October 23.
All absentee ballots must be submitted by the time polls close on Election Day (November 7) to be counted.
To receive an absentee ballot, a registered voter must provide the following information:
Name
Date of birth
Iowa residential address
Voter Verification Number (ID Number)
Iowa driver’s license or non-operator ID number
Four-digit Voter PIN located on an Iowa voter ID card
The name or date of the election for which an absentee ballot is being requested
Signature and date the form was completed
Voters are encouraged to provide a phone number and/or email address in the event that their County Auditor needs to confirm any information on the absentee ballot request form. Any voter can request an Iowa Voter ID Card by contacting their County Auditor’s Office.
If approved by 60% of IKM-Manning Community School District voters, the $18.6 million bond would allow the district to finance a series of expansion and improvement projects and allow the district to operate in one location.
We will continue to provide information about the district’s facility needs and the financial impact of this bond issue leading up to November 7.
Sincerely,
Trevor Miller
Superintendent
