City Council Election

Candidates can file with the Johnson County Auditor starting Aug. 28, 2023. Nomination papers are due by Sept. 21 at 5 p.m. North Liberty does not have a primary provision or wards. Nomination papers are available from the Auditor’s office or website. Filing requires 50 signatures from eligible electors (that is, folks eligible to register to vote for the office, whether or not they’re registered to vote). Oct. 18: First day in-person early voting is allowed under state law, and first day mailed absentee ballots can be sent. Ballots may not be ready by this date. Details on when early voting will begin will be posted closer to the election. Oct. 23: Voter pre-registration deadline. If you need to register in Johnson County or update your address after this date, you will need to follow Election Day Registration procedures in order to vote in this election. This is also the deadline to request a mailed absentee ballot. We must have your Absentee Ballot Request form in our hands by 5 PM. In-person early voting will still be available after this date. Nov. 6: Last day of in-person early voting. Nov. 7: Election Day. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters must vote at their assigned polling place. Mailed absentee ballots must be received at our office before polls close at 8 p.m.

Four candidates have filed for three four-year city council terms. Details about non-city offices are available from the County Auditor's office.

Each filed city office candidate will be invited to record a four-minute statement for publication on this page. Videos will be published simultaneously before early voting begins.
