A bill for an act relating to the administration of elections.

SSB 1130 updates Iowa's election administration procedures. It requires voters to include a four-digit ID number on absentee ballot requests (Section 1), mandates electronic maintenance of voter records with specific retention periods (Section 6), and sets new rules for preserving ballots (22 months for federal elections, 6 months for others) (Sections 7, 9, 10). The bill also specifies when special elections must be held (not near primaries/general elections), requires county boards to canvass votes on certain days (Section 3), and changes judicial retention rules (Section 4). These changes directly affect election officials, voters, and candidates by standardizing administrative processes.
