(Red Oak, Iowa) – Montgomery County Auditor and Commissioner of Elections, Stephanie Burke, announced Tuesday, that HF2466 (002) (Iowa House File 2466) was enacted on Tuesday afternoon concerning signature requirements for County Supervisor candidate nominations.

According to Burke, “Signature requirements for the offices of Montgomery County Supervisor District 1, District 2 and District 4 shall include at least twenty-one signatures. This is considerably less than the one hundred signatures that the Iowa Secretary of State recommended.”

Only voters living in the supervisor candidate’s respective district are allowed to sign the nomination papers. Nomination papers and any accompanying affidavit of candidacy for the June 7, 2022 Primary Election must be filed with the Montgomery County Auditor’s Office before 5:00 p.m. on March 25.

Supervisor Districts and precincts have changed slightly due to the recent census. Maps can be located on the county’s website www.montgomerycountyia.gov or at the Auditor’s office.

Please contact the Auditor’s office at 623-5127 for more information. Democratic and Republican candidates must run in the June 7 Primary Election, with the winners moving on to the November 8 General Election ballot.

There are no changes to the signature requirements for the offices of County Attorney, County Treasurer and County Recorder.
