DES MOINES, IOWA (February 28, 2022) — The candidate filing period for state and federal offices in the 2022 primary and general elections began Monday, February 28, and runs through Friday, March 18, 5PM. Candidates must file their nominating petitions and affidavits of candidacy with the Office of Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate, either in the Capitol Building or in the Lucas Office Building.

An updated list of candidates whose papers have been received and accepted will be published to the Iowa Secretary of State’s website at the end of each day and will also be updated periodically. That page is available here and will also be accessible from the home page of the Secretary of State’s website, https://sos.iowa.gov/.
