Section 14 and 15. nominations The section strikes language in Iowa Code Section 44.4(1), which delineates the nominating process and filing process for elections. This removes the requirement that the county commissioner be responsible for collecting nominating papers for elections held in a city. These sections add that the city clerk will now be responsible for collecting nomination papers for the city election.

Section 20. controlling county commissioner 2

3 This section adds language concerning what the responsibility of the county commissioner is when elections spans across multiple counties and dictates that there will be a controlling county commissioner and his or her responsibilities.

Section 23. proper voting place This section adds language that states whenever practical, a commissioner shall designate polling places so that an eligible voter will be assigned to vote at the same polling place at which the voter would be assigned to during the general election. However, if a city does not have a polling place designated for the general election precinct, the commissioner may designate an additional polling place for that city. Section 24 and 25.
