Election Workers in Seven Iowa Counties, did Not turn-in Candidates' Paperwork by the Sept. 19th Deadline. State Election Leaders said these Errors affect Candidates to Run in City Elections in Jolley and Pulaski. As a Result, Voters will need to Write-In those Candidates' Names on their Ballots.
“We are disappointed to hear of the errors made by multiple school board secretaries and city clerks, considering we have provided these officials with extensive training resources and conducted detailed training sessions, Secutery-of-State Paul Pate (R) said in a Statement.
"These errors have impacted at least 34 candidates across at least seven counties, six cities, and three school districts. It is unfortunate that the affected candidates will be required to undergo write-in campaigns due to errors made by the filing officers, but it is the duty of our office, the county auditor’s office, and the filing officer to adhere to Iowa law."
Pate's Statement also noted, "out of 941 Iowa cities, just six city clerks made this error, and out of 325 Iowa school districts, only three school board secretaries made the error."
