Most states want to change election laws to what Iowa has just passed (still waiting for the Governor’s signature):

“An Iowa bill aimed at limiting voting and making it harder for voters to return absentee ballots is headed to Gov. Kim Reynolds’ desk this week after passing both Republican-controlled chambers of the state legislature.

The bill, introduced by a Republican state senator, specifically would reduce the number of early voting days from 29 days to 20 days. It would also close polling places an hour earlier on Election Day (at 8 p.m. instead of 9 p.m.).

The bill also places new restrictions on absentee voting including banning officials from sending applications without a voter first requesting one and requiring ballots be received by the county before polls close on Election Day.”

If a voter chooses not to procrastinate, the law allows plenty of time to cast a ballot. However, if a voter chooses to wait till the last day and then gets delayed either in the mail, or making it to the poll station, is there any limit on how long s/he may need?
