2009 Iowa Code
Title 2 - Elections and Official Duties
Subtitle 1 - Elections
CHAPTER 49 - METHOD OF CONDUCTING ELECTIONS
49.96 - OFFICES WITH MORE THAN ONE PERSON TO BE ELECTED.

        49.96  OFFICES WITH MORE THAN ONE PERSON TO BE
      ELECTED.
         Where more than one person is to be elected to the same office at
      the same election, and all of the candidates for that office for whom
      the voter desires to vote were nominated by the political party or
      nonparty political organization for which the voter has marked a
      straight party or organization vote, the voter need not otherwise
      indicate the vote for that office.  However, if a voter who has
      marked a straight party or organization ticket also marks the voting
      targets next to the names of one or more candidates for any office,
      only the votes cast separately for individual candidates for that
      office shall be counted.  If the voter wishes to vote for candidates
      who were nominated by different political parties or nonparty
      political organizations, the voter must mark the voting target for
      each candidate the voter has chosen, whether or not the voter has
      also marked a straight party or organization vote.
