Iowa › Webster County › Webster County Auditor
Open seat: sitting Auditor Krystal Lloyd did not file for re-election (the Webster County Board of Supervisors separately appointed her interim Auditor on July 28, 2026 under Iowa Code section 69.14A, pending the November 3, 2026 election, per the board's official meeting minutes). Democrat Doreen Pliner won her party's June 2, 2026 primary outright with 2,570 votes (no opponent), per the county's official primary results. No Republican candidate filed. On the Republican primary ballot, a generic "Write-in" line recorded 51 votes, of which 50 were credited by name to a person recorded as "Doreen Pliner" -- the identical name to the Democratic nominee, and a much more concentrated result than the county's other write-in contests this cycle. This agent could not confirm from an official county document whether this concentrated write-in vote met Iowa's statutory nomination threshold (Iowa Code section 43.66), whether the Republican write-in "Doreen Pliner" is the same person as the Democratic nominee, or whether a Republican nominee was certified for this seat. No Republican candidate is listed here; Webster County's certified November 3, 2026 candidate list should be checked before publishing a second line for this office.
