This bill mandates that each county commissioner of elections in Iowa must label every ballot cast during primary and general elections. The labels are required to specify the method by which the ballot was cast, including options such as in-person on election day, in-person prior to election day, and various mail-in methods, including those specifically for military members and overseas citizens under the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the state commissioner of elections is responsible for adopting rules to implement these labeling requirements, ensuring clarity and consistency in how ballots are categorized based on their casting method. This initiative aims to enhance transparency in the electoral process by providing detailed information about how votes are submitted.
