Voters can either vote absentee or vote on election day at the polls.
Absentee Voting
Sioux County voters can vote absentee via mail or absentee in-person at the Sioux County courthouse during the absentee timeframe.
Absentee by Mail
To vote via mail, mail in a completed absentee ballot request form which can be printed by clicking here. Mail completed forms to: Sioux County Auditor, PO Box 18, Orange City, IA 51041 or drop off the form at the courthouse.
Once you have received and voted your ballot, you can mail it back in the provided envelope or deliver it to the courthouse. Be mindful of the return deadlines listed in the directions that are mailed with the ballot.
Absentee In-Person

Voters Needing Assistance
All polling places are assessed for accessibility. All polling places are equipped with devices to help those who need it. Voters may also request assistance from precinct officials or bring someone to provide aid (can’t be an employer or union rep). Precinct officials will not answer questions about candidates or measures. They can help read the ballot and mark the ballot as instructed by the voter.
