Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed into law Monday legislation that makes it more difficult to vote early, among other voting process changes.
Formerly under Iowa law, the early voting period was 29 days. Mail-in ballots had to be postmarked by Election Day and arrive by noon on the Monday following the election in order to be counted. County election officials could send out absentee ballot request forms without the forms actually be requested, and voting sites closed at 9 PM.
