The three-part Voting in Iowa video series – Registering to Vote, Voting Absentee, and Voting on Election Day – was made jointly by the Iowa State Association of Counties and the Iowa State Association of County Auditors with the goals of increasing voters; educating voters; eliminating fear and intimidation; informing about county government; informing about the role of the county auditor as the commissioner of elections; and breaking down the walls of people who haven’t voted or haven’t voted in a long time.
