43.66 WRITE-IN CANDIDATES.
The fact that the candidate who receives the highest number of
votes cast for any party's nomination for an office to which section
43.52 or 43.65 is applicable is a person whose name was not printed
on the official primary election ballot shall not affect the validity
of the person's nomination as a candidate for that office in the
general election. However, if there is no candidate on the official
primary ballot of a political party for nomination to a particular
office, a write-in candidate may obtain the party's nomination to
that office in the primary if the candidate receives a number of
votes equal to at least thirty-five percent of the total vote cast
for all of that party's candidates for that office in the last
preceding primary election for which the party had candidates on the
ballot for that office. If there have been no candidates from a
political party for a seat in the general assembly since the most
recent redistricting of the general assembly, a write-in candidate
shall be considered nominated who receives a number of votes equal to
at least thirty-five percent of the total votes cast, at the last
preceding primary election in the precincts which currently
constitute the general assembly district, for all of that party's
candidates for representative in the Congress of the United States or
who receives at least one hundred votes, whichever number is greater.
When two or more nominees are required, the division procedure
prescribed in section 43.52 shall be applied to establish the minimum
number of write-in votes necessary for nomination. If the primary is
inconclusive, the necessary nominations shall be made in accordance
with section 43.78, subsection 1.
