This morning the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office started posting absentee ballot statistics for this year’s general election. They will update the chart on weekdays here (pdf).
As in 2012, Bleeding Heartland will update the absentee ballot totals daily as they become available. The first set of numbers are after the jump. I’ve organized the data a bit differently from the Secretary of State’s Office. For each day’s totals, I will create two charts: the first shows the number of absentee ballots Iowans have requested, in each of the four Congressional districts and statewide. The second shows the number of absentee ballots county auditors have received from voters, in each of the four Congressional districts and statewide. (For now, those numbers are small, because most of the county auditors have not yet mailed ballots to voters who requested them.)
In-person early voting will begin on September 25 at county auditors’ offices. Some counties will open satellite locations for in-person early voting as well. When an Iowan votes early at the auditor’s office, that counts as an absentee ballot requested by the voter and as an absentee ballot received by the auditor on the same day.
Today’s press release from the Secretary of State’s Office noted that “demand for absentee ballots with 43 days before the election is much higher this year for all party affiliations than at a similar point in 2010.” Absentee ballot requests as of September 21 totaled 112,178 statewide, compared to 56,725 at this point in Iowa’s last midterm election campaign. Registered Democrats had requested 57,869 absentee ballots (versus 34,318 at this point in 2010), Republicans had requested 31,099 ballots (12,710 in 2010), and no-party voters had requested 23,043 ballots (9,664 in 2010). Click here for more information about voting early, or to download an absentee ballot request form.
Note that not every mailed-in absentee ballot will count. Some ballots mailed late will not get a postmark proving voters sent them before election day. John Deeth goes over other common errors that can lead to absentee ballots not being counted, such as voters not signing the “affidavit envelope” or re-opening the affidavit envelope after sealing it. Everyone planning to vote by mail needs to read the instructions carefully and follow them exactly.
UPDATE: I should have noted that if this year’s turnout is similar to 2010, about 1.1 million Iowans will cast ballots, meaning that roughly 10 percent of those likely to participate in the midterm have already requested a ballot. The Republican Party of Iowa’s first mass mailing of absentee ballot request forms went out in early September, while the Iowa Democratic Party’s went out last week.
SECOND UPDATE: Adding latest daily numbers after the jump.

The unknown variable
What is unknown about the ballots requested, is how many of these folks are reliable voters and how many are marginal voters. If all the requests are from reliable voters then it’s just a shift in the time of voting, but not a change in the number of people participating.
If any one group (Dem, Rep, or no party) have mostly reliable voters in the mix on the list of absentees already requested then they have not increased their numbers. IF they have people who are marginal voters and who are not as reliable as those of us who vote regularly without reminders, then the group that has those people on their list is the group that has gained something.

yes
That is a huge unknown. My impression is that most of the Democratic effort over the summer was focused on identifying supporters among the marginal voters and getting them to request an early ballot. In contrast, the Iowa Democratic Party’s mass mailing that hit people’s mailboxes from Thursday through Saturday (September 18-20) was aimed at reliable supporters and voters. If that mailing gets a large response, we should start to see a big increase in Democratic ballot requests over the next seven to ten days. The numbers the Secretary of State’s Office released today reflect what county auditors had received on or before September 21.
I talked to election officials in several counties on September 8 and 9 who commented on the surge in Republican absentee ballot requests following a mass mailing the previous week. Presumably those loyal GOP “low-hanging fruit” are already factored into today’s numbers from the Secretary of State’s Office.
