BENTON – Benton County residents interested in running for their City Council or School Board can soon begin filing papers to place their name on the November 5 ballot.
This is the first year in Iowa that the City and School elections have been combined to be conducted on the same day.
Candidates will need to file a nomination petition and an affidavit of candidacy to get their name on the ballot. Those documents need to be filed with the city clerk for a seat with the city or with the school secretary for a seat on the school board.
Candidates can begin filing those papers with those officials on August 26. The petitions are due to those officials before 5 p.m. on September 19.
Also new this year is a requirement on nomination papers that the papers include information about the person who is distributing the nomination papers. That information should include the person’s name, signature, address and phone number.
For more information about the 2019 City/School Election contact the Benton County Auditor’s office at 319-472-2365.
