§ Iowa Code § 43.75Tie vote

43.75 Tie vote.
1. In case of a tie vote resulting in no nomination for any office, except for senator or
representative in the general assembly, the tie shall forthwith be determined by lot by the
board of canvassers.
2. In case of a tie vote resulting in no nomination for a senator or representative in
the general assembly, the party precinct committee members whose precincts lie within
the senatorial or representative district involved shall select the winning candidate from
among the candidates having received the equal and highest number of votes. The state
party chairperson shall convene or reconvene such party precinct committee members as
appropriate. The party’s state constitution or bylaws may allow the voting strength of each
precinct represented at such a convention to be made proportionate to the vote cast for the
party’s candidate for the office in question in the respective precincts at the last general
election for that office.
