The bill amends Section 53.11 of the Iowa Code to establish new regulations regarding satellite absentee voting stations. A new subparagraph is added to subsection 1, which allows for the establishment of a voting site on school property if the ballot includes a question to approve certain school-related financial measures, such as bonds or levies. This change aims to facilitate voting in educational environments when relevant issues are on the ballot.

Additionally, the bill modifies subsection 6 to enhance voter privacy by requiring 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, 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 these absentee voting stations.
