The Secretary of State's office no longer has these guides publicly available on its website. Candidate guides and forms are still available and I have hyperlinked them below. 2019 is the first year that the city election and the school election are combined—if you have questions about the combined election, please contact me. One of the attachments is the planning worksheet. This is due by August 7 but we're happy to receive your information sooner. I've also attached the list of offices, including names of incumbents, that we currently have. If there are any errors or additions, please let us know as soon as possible. If you've had a recent resignation or are expecting one between now and September 14, please contact me. file:///C:/Users/diane.voss/AppData/Local/Temp/notesFFF692/—web3335.htm 6/19/2019 Page 2 of 2 Just a reminder that I have designated all city clerks in Story County as the filing officers for city elections.
