Scott County voters have new user-friendly election website

Scott County voters now have a user-friendly website to find all their election information, according to a news release.

Scott County Auditor Kerri Tompkins has announced that elections.scottcountyiowa.gov is online.

Tompkins said the site will be easier to navigate to find election information, register to vote or find a form to request an absentee ballot. Additionally, voters can enter their addresses to find their polling location and sample ballots, along with their current elected representatives.

“We’ve been working for some time on ways to improve displaying information about elections on our Scott County site,” Tompkins said. “We believe voters will find everything they need in a user-friendly format at this site.”

Tompkins said the site also includes past election information and a section listing officials voted on by Scott County voters. The site also converts to a mobile format for those looking up information on their phones or tablets.

“Neapolitan Labs presented us with a great platform for this site that was affordable, and they have been great to work with,” Tompkins said. “We encourage Scott County voters to check out the site and find how clean it looks and how easy it is to use.”

Matt Garman taking over as CEO with AWS at crossroads
It’s tough to say that a $100 billion business finds itself at a critical juncture, but that's the case with Amazon Web Services, the cloud arm of Amazon, and the clear market leader in the cloud infrastructure market. On Tuesday, the company announced that CEO Adam Selipsky was stepping down to spend more time with his family and recharge a bit, according to his statement. During Selipsky’s tenure, growth for the cloud division has slowed pretty dramatically falling from 33% in Q2 2022 to 12% in Q2 and Q3 2023 before ticking up to 13% and 17% in its two most recent reports -- although to be fair, growth has slowed across the industry, as the space has settled into a more mature state.
