In a primary election, no candidates are elected. Instead, voters who are affiliated with political parties nominate their candidates to run in the November general election. (A city primary is not a partisan primary election, and any eligible voter may participate regardless of party affiliation.)
Only voters affiliated with a political party may vote in a primary election, but any Iowa voter may declare or change party affiliation at any time.
Currently, Iowa has two official political parties: Democratic and Republican. The Iowa Green Party earned enough votes in the 2000 general election to qualify for party status, and held a primary in 2002. However, the Greens lost full party status as a result of the 2002 general election. The Greens and Libertarians now have "political organization" status but do not hold primaries.
No ballot issues or non-partisan offices may be included with a primary election.
