DAVENPORT, IOWA (March 8, 2022) — Scott County Auditor Kerri Tompkins announced that her office is accepting nomination papers from candidates for partisan county offices for the June 7, 2022 Primary Election. The results of the Primary Election will determine the candidates for the Democratic and Republican parties for these offices. Friday, March 25, 2022, is the last day to file.
The county offices up for election this year include Attorney, Auditor (to fill a vacancy), Recorder, Treasurer, and three Supervisors.
Due to changes in Iowa law those wishing to run for these partisan offices without a party designation will also need to file papers for their candidacies by March 25th. This requirement applies to non-party political organizations such as the Libertarian Party, the Green Party and other groups, as well as individuals running under their own names. These candidates will not participate in the Primary Election, and instead they will appear on the General Election ballot.
Also, due to changes in Iowa law those wishing to run for the non-partisan township offices of clerk and trustee must file papers with the Auditor’s Office by March 25.
Those with questions about the nomination process can contact the Scott County Auditor’s Office.
