Voters in the Keokuk area will have an additional opportunity to cast their ballots early later this month through a special satellite voting event in Lee County.
Lee County Auditor Sherri Yasenchok announced that a temporary satellite voting location will be available May 26th through May 29th at 25 North 7th Street in Keokuk. The site will be open Tuesday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Election officials say the satellite location is designed to give voters more convenient access to early voting and help residents avoid long lines on Election Day.
