Iowa Secretary of State explores signature verification for mail ballots
Iowa wisely looks at ways to confirm the identity of the ever-increasing mail ballot voter.
The growing popularity of absentee voting in Iowa has prompted Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz to look
into requiring signature verification for those who vote by mail. Schultz on Monday said the idea springs from the general election earlier this month in which 46 percent of Iowa’s voters cast their
ballots early or absentee, a record for the state.
