The bill amends Section 53.11 of the Iowa Code to establish new provisions regarding satellite absentee voting stations. Specifically, it adds a new subparagraph that allows for the establishment of a voting site on school property if the ballot includes a question related to various school funding measures, such as bonds or levies. This change aims to facilitate absentee voting in locations that are directly tied to educational funding decisions.

Additionally, the bill modifies subsection 6 of the same section to require the commissioner to remove or obscure any published materials that display the name of a candidate or elected official, as well as any materials related to a public measure, from the view of voters, except for ballots or sample ballots. This amendment is intended to ensure that voters are not influenced by external materials while casting their votes at absentee voting stations.
