Johnson County Auditor Travis Weipert has resigned his office as of July 25, 2024, due to personal health reasons.

Weipert also notified the Board of Supervisors and the deputy commissioner of elections that he is no longer seeking re-election.

Since Weipert’s nomination was made at the primary election in June, the vacancy will be filled at this year’s general election on November 5, 2024, pursuant to Iowa Codes 69.14A(2)(b) and .14A(4). 

The Johnson County Board of Supervisors will appoint an individual to serve as Johnson County Auditor for the remaining portion of Weipert’s term until certification of the election and the person elected at the general election has qualified by taking the oath of office.

Vacancies on the general election ballot due to candidate withdrawal are to be filled by that party’s county convention and submitted to the commissioner of elections not later than 5 p.m. on the 69th day before the date of the general election.
