Iowa Regulations § 721-26.102 Bond

In an election for a jurisdiction that includes more than one county, only one bond is required for each candidate who requests a recount for that office. For state and federal offices, the bond shall be filed with the state commissioner of elections. For other elections, the bond shall be filed with the commissioner responsible for the election under Iowa Code section 47.2 (2) . If more than one candidate for a multicounty office requests a recount, the bond requirement shall be calculated for each candidate.
