Ballot Issues

Additional issues may be added.

Statewide Issues
50% required.

Voting Age and Citizenship

Repeal and replace Section 1 of Article II of the state constitution. Proposed new language:

Only a citizen of the United States of the age of eighteen years, who shall have been a resident of this state for such period of time as shall be provided by law and of the county in which the citizen claims the citizen's vote for such period of time as shall be provided by law, shall be entitled to vote at all elections which are authorized by law. However, for purposes of a primary election, a United States citizen must be at least eighteen years of age as of the next general election following the primary election. The required periods of residence shall not exceed six months in this state and sixty days in the county.

Gubernatorial Succession

Repeal and replace Section 17 of Article IV of the state constitution. Proposed new language:

Lieutenant governor or lieutenant governor-elect to become or act as governor or governor-elect.

If there is a temporary disability of the governor, the lieutenant governor shall act as governor until the disability is removed, or the governor dies, resigns, or is removed from office. In case of the death, resignation, or removal from office of the governor, the lieutenant governor shall become governor for the remainder of the term, which shall create a vacancy in the office of lieutenant governor. This section shall also apply, as appropriate, to the governor-elect and the lieutenant governor-elect.

Countywide Issue
Conservation bond. 60% required.

Shall the County of Johnson, State of Iowa, issue its general obligation bonds in the amount not exceeding the amount of $30,000,000 for the purpose of acquiring and developing lands with public access provided, in order to protect the water quality in rivers, lakes and streams; protect forests to improve air quality; protect natural areas and wildlife habitat from development; and provide for parks and trails; to be managed by the Johnson County Conservation Board? All expenditures will be subject to an annual independent audit. It is estimated the annual increase in property taxes on a residential property with an actual valuation of one hundred thousand dollars resulting from issuing the bonds will be $7.09. However, the Board of Supervisors may determine in any fiscal year the debt is outstanding to alternatively budget from any other available revenues for the payment of principal, interest, and premium, if any, pursuant to the terms of the bonds.
Highland Community School District
60% required.

Shall the Board of Directors of the Highland Community School District in the Counties of Washington, Johnson, and Louisa, State of Iowa, be authorized to contract indebtedness and issue General Obligation Bonds in an amount not to exceed $15,000,000 to provide funds to construct, build, furnish, and equip renovations and additions to the middle/high school building, including locker rooms and athletic support spaces, multipurpose area/gymnasium, commons, and site improvements; and to construct, build, furnish, and equip renovations and additions to the elementary school, including classrooms, a secure entry and administrative spaces, and site improvements?
Williamsburg Community School District
Public Measure LA - 60% required.

Shall the Board of Directors of the Williamsburg Community School District in the Counties of Iowa and Johnson, State of Iowa, be authorized to contract indebtedness and issue General Obligation Bonds in an amount not to exceed $22,335,000 to provide funds to construct, build, furnish, and equip an addition to the Elementary building and improve the site; and renovate, remodel, repair, and improve portions of the existing Junior/Senior High School building?

Nomination petitions, documents, and candidate guides (Secretary of State site)

No changes may be made to petition pages after signatures have been collected. We recommend completing the header section on one copy of the petition, then making copies of that page so that the header information is consistent.

The affidavit of candidacy must be notarized and no changes may be made to it after notarization. Our office provides notary services free of charge.
