All Cedar County voters will now be voting by mail

HARTINGTON — Cedar County residents will no longer need to go to the polls to cast their ballots on election day.

As one of his final acts before retiring from office, Secretary of State John Gale granted Cedar County Clerk Dave Dowling’s request to make Cedar County an all-mail voting county.

After last year’s General Election, Dowling applied for the designation to transform all of Cedar County’s 13 precincts into all-mail voting precincts.

Dowling said all-mail voting just makes sense.

“I’ve had a lot of people come to the counter asking why they can’t have a ballot mailed out to them without having to apply for it,” he said. “I got to thinking this is what the future is going to be, so why not just do this now.”
