Tuesday (6/7) is primary election day in Iowa.  Polls are open from 7am until 8pm.  The main statewide races concern Chuck Grassley’s US Senate seat.  Grassley is facing a primary challenge from Jim Carlin on the Republican side, while there are three contenders on the Democratic side: Abby Finkenauer, Michael Franken and Glenn Hurst.  Closer to home, State Representative Dustin Hite is facing a challenge from fellow Republican Helena Hayes for the new District 88 seat…with the winner facing Democrat Lisa Ossian in November.

Remember, the place you go to vote may have changed because of redistricting after the 2020 census.  You should have received a card last month telling you where your polling place is.  Mahaska County voters can check online at elections.mahaskacountyia.gov.  If you live elsewhere in the No Coast Network listening area, you can find your polling place at https://sos.iowa.gov/elections/voterreg/
