Iowa local elections
County ballots.
City records.
A source-first view of Iowa's 2026 county cycle and 2025 city results, with all 99 county and 939 incorporated-city desks, candidate and official profiles, local election-authority references, and visible record gaps.
Coverage ledger
The full denominator stays visible
Every Iowa county and every current Census incorporated-city desk stays in the index. The Secretary of State's 941-city notice is retained as a documented conflict with the reproducible 939-place Census and League inventories.

Election calendar
Current county filings and city-cycle records
Regular Iowa city elections occur in odd years. The 2026 layer includes county offices and only specifically sourced municipal special elections.
Update notebook
Refreshes are tied to the calendar
County filings, ballot production, election-night releases, canvasses, recounts, and the 2027 regular city cycle each trigger a separate check.
Iowa research notes
County publication remains part of the record
Iowa's 99 county auditors publish local candidate and result records. The release preserves each source boundary and never converts a primary nomination into a general-election win.
