Voters in other Iowa City precincts will not be able to vote, and polling places outside District A will not be open on October 10.
A city primary is not a partisan primary. All voters in District A will be able to participate regardless of party affiliation. - How The Process Works
- Iowa City requires a primary if three or more candidates file for a district seat, or if five or more candidates file for the two At Large seats. Only District A has enough candidates to require a primary.
The top two District A candidates will advance to the November 7 election. Voters may only vote for one candidate in the primary.
The At Large and District C contests will not be on the primary ballot. Those candidates have already qualified for the November 7 ballot.
In the November 7 City and School Election, all voters in Iowa City will be able to vote in the District A contest, the District C contest, and the At Large contest.
A city primary is not a partisan primary. All voters in District A will be able to participate regardless of party affiliation.
A city primary is not a special election. It is a regular part of the Iowa City charter. City primaries were common in the past but have been less frequent in recent years. The last city-wide primary election in a regular city election cycle was in 2011. There was also a city-wide primary in a 2018 special election.
Iowa City has not has a district only primary in a regular city election cycle since 1985. There was also a district only primary in a 1993 special election.
The only other city in Johnson County with a primary provision is University Heights, but our records do not show that they have ever actually needed to hold a primary. - Early Voting
