PATE NAMES HYSELL TO AUDITOR'S ADVISORY GROUP


(DES MOINES) Today, Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate announced the appointment of Union County Auditor Sandy Hysell to a key group that will provide advice and counsel on key elections issues. Hysell is one of just eight county auditors to serve on the advisory group.

"I'm very honored to be asked to be a part of this advisory board and to be working with Secretary of State Paul Pate and his staff," stated Hysell.

The Auditors' Advisory Group will explore policy, procedural and technical options within the area of elections and voter registration. This will include absentee balloting, expanding on-line voter registration, ballot security, and the growth in the use of absentee ballots.

"It is my privilege to welcome Auditor Hysell and I look forward to working with her to better serve the state of Iowa in expanding voter participation and protecting the integrity of the election process," stated Pate.

The advisory group will be led by Secretary of State Pate. Auditors from Woodbury, Union, Des Moines, Clay, Black Hawk, Page, Grundy and Linn Counties will be serving in this group.

Pate added, "There will be a free flow of ideas, concerns and best practices among the advisory members who are on the front lines of Iowa's elections. And while I recognize not everyone is always going to agree on everything, I believe that new ideas and solutions will emerge from this group."
