***Rumors are swirling Iowa about polling location closures and changes. We’ve contacted the county auditors in Iowa to find out what is actually happening in their county.***

Clarke County Auditor Janice White told The Iowa Standard that while the county normally has seven polling locations, this year there will be six. They haven’t had to change locations, one though was not large enough to ensure social distancing.

Clarke County also has enough poll workers to execute the election.

Palo Alto County Auditor Carmen Moser said her county has made zero changes to its locations or precincts for the election and has all the poll workers it needs for election day.

Winnebago County Auditor Karla Weiss is in the same boat as Moser. All 10 precincts will be open like normal. Nothing has been changed and there are enough poll workers.

Voters can find their polling place at this website.

Iowans can sign up to be poll workers here.
