Edited release
07/26/24
Johnson County Auditor Travis Weipert has resigned, citing personal health issues.
According to a release from the County, Weipert also notified the Board of Supervisors and the deputy commissioner of elections that he is no longer seeking re-election.
Since Weipert’s nomination was made at the primary election in June, the vacancy will be filled at this year’s general election, pursuant to Iowa Code.
The Johnson County Board of Supervisors will appoint an individual to serve as Johnson County Auditor for the remaining portion of Weipert’s term until certification of the election.
Vacancies on the general election ballot due to candidate withdrawal are to be filled by that party’s county convention and submitted to the commissioner of elections not later than 5 p.m. on the 69th day before the date of the general election. That would be August 28th.
