43.52 NOMINEES FOR COUNTY OFFICE.
The nominee of each political party for any office to be filled by
the voters of the entire county, or for the office of county
supervisor elected from a district within the county, shall be the
person receiving the highest number of votes cast in the primary
election by the voters of that party for the office, and that person
shall appear as the party's candidate for the office on the general
election ballot.
If no candidate receives thirty-five percent or more of the votes
cast by voters of the candidate's party for the office sought, the
primary is inconclusive and the nomination shall be made as provided
by section 43.78, subsection 1, paragraphs "d" and "e".
When two or more nominees are required, as in the case of at-large
elections, the nominees shall likewise be the required number of
persons who receive the greatest number of votes cast in the primary
election by the voters of the nominating party, but no candidate is
nominated who fails to receive thirty-five percent of the number of
votes found by dividing the number of votes cast by voters of the
candidate's party for the office in question by the number of persons
to be elected to that office. If the primary is inconclusive under
this paragraph, the necessary number of nominations shall be made as
provided by section 43.78, subsection 1, paragraphs "d" and
"e".
