What’s in it

AI summary Counties in Iowa with at least 75,000 people must use a specific system called "plan three" to elect their board of supervisors. Under this plan, voters choose individual supervisors from districts that have an equal number of people. If a large county does not already use this system, they have until the 2026 election to switch over.1

Read the official explanation

This bill requires a county with a population of 75,000 or more based on the most recent federal decennial census to use plan “three” for the election of county supervisors. Plan “three” requires individual members of the board of supervisors for that county to be elected from single-member equal-population districts. The bill provides that a county with a population of 75,000 or more that does not use plan “three” as of the bill’s effective date for the election of supervisors is not required to elect supervisors under plan “three” until the election for supervisors in 2026 following adoption of a representation plan in conformity with the provisions of law governing the adoption of a plan “three” representation plan. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
