Except as provided in this section, the eligibility or residence of a voter whose application
for absentee ballots is recorded under section 203B.19 may be challenged in the manner set forth
by section 201.195. The county auditor or municipal clerk shall not be required to serve a copy of
the petition and notice of hearing on the challenged voter. If the absentee ballot application was

application of the challenge. The county auditor may contact other registered voters to request
information that may resolve any discrepancies appearing in the application. All reasonable doubt
shall be resolved in favor of the validity of the application. If the voter's challenge is affirmed, the
county auditor shall provide the challenged voter with a copy of the petition and the decision and
shall inform the voter of the right to appeal as provided in section 201.195.
