Countdown to Nov. 5th: What you can do

There is an old expression that many hands make light work. We need your hands! I would first invite you to learn about the REACH app and add it to your smart phone. (https://www.reach.vote/) Learn about it and use it. You can import your contacts and check with your friends and family to make sure they have a plan to vote. You can add your own plan. Once you have downloaded the app, you can add the Iowa Democratic Party to your “campaigns” and be connected with people and social media. It is free and painless to use! Talking to a few friends or family members and making sure they have a plan to vote could make all the difference in many of our state and county elections.

You can now request absentee ballots from the state. Here is a link to everything you need to know to vote in Boone County: https://boonecounty.iowa.gov/auditor/elections/

The Boone County Democrats would love to have you help us in a way that works for you!
