Views from the Linn County Auditor

March 26th is very significant if you are planning to run for supervisor, sheriff, or auditor

March 3^rd is the first day for partisan candidates to file nomination papers in the Auditor’s Office for county supervisor, sheriff, or auditor and March 26^th (5pm) is the last day to file nomination papers for the same offices.  I’ll cover the requirements for non-partisan candidates in a future blog.

If you’re planning to run, you should be getting your nomination papers signed NOW!  Use this form http://www.sos.state.ia.us/pdfs/elections/electioninfo/NomPetCoSupv.pdf if you are running for County Supervisor in Linn County.  Use this form http://www.sos.state.ia.us/pdfs/elections/electioninfo/NomPetCoOffice.pdf if you are running for County Auditor or County Sheriff in any county.

Candidate information is available at http://www.linncounty.org/content.asp?Page_Id=651&Dept_Id=6 and at http://www.sos.state.ia.us/elections/index.html and at the Auditor’s Office.

The following individuals requested candidate packets from the Auditor’s Office:
