A-A-R-P Iowa and the Latino Political Network are offering a non-partisan effort to inform Iowa’s voters who are 50 and older, as well as the Latino population, about changes to the state’s voting laws. A-A-R-P Iowa state director Brad Anderson says the two organizations are launching a statewide tour this week to help voters understand some of those changes.

Anderson says one of the questions that’s being frequently asked is about the elimination of straight-party voting.

Events will be held on Tuesday in Mason City and Marion, Wednesday in West Des Moines and Shenandoah, and Thursday in Bettendorf.
