Early voting is now available in Iowa. Here are the locations in Dallas, Polk counties.

Busy on Election Day, but still want the experience of in-person voting? Iowa's early voting starts this week allowing people to vote in person before Election Day on Nov. 5.

Iowa's in-person absentee voting lets voters fill out and turn in ballots before Election Day at designated locations as opposed to sending them in the mail. Here is how you can vote early for the Nov. 5 general election.

When does in-person early voting start in Iowa?

The first day to do in-person absentee voting in Iowa is Oct. 16.

In Iowa, in-person voting is available no earlier than 20 calendar days before the election. After the first day, voters have until the day before the election, or Nov. 4, at 5 p.m. to do early in-person absentee voting.

How do I vote early in person in Iowa?

Voters will still go through the absentee ballot request process to vote in person but will do so at their county auditor's office or a special satellite location. Voters will complete the form, receive a ballot and complete it in the office. They cannot take the ballot home to complete.

To receive an absentee ballot, registered voters must present the following information:

• Name

• Date of birth

• Iowa residential address

• A voter verification number such as an Iowa driver's license or four-digit voter pin on an Iowa voter ID card

• The name or date of the election you are requesting an absentee ballot from

• Signature and date the form was completed.

Where is early in-person voting in Iowa?

In-person early voting is available at your local county auditor's office.

If requested by voters, counties may set up satellite early voting stations to allow voters to cast their ballot at a location other than the auditor's office.
