"Pottawattamie County Special Election Sees Record Voter Turnout"
Pottawattamie County residents participated in a special election to determine how they will elect their county Board of Supervisors. The ballot included three options: Plan 1 maintains the current system, Plan 2 divides the county into five districts with all residents voting for supervisors from each district, and Plan 3 also divides the county into five districts but restricts voting to the candidate in each individual district. The unofficial results show that Plan 1 received 5,224 votes, Plan 2 received 545 votes, and Plan 3 received 2,357 votes. The specific districts have yet to be determined, but if Plan 2 or 3 pass, Council Bluffs will be divided into four districts, with one district including parts of the county adjacent to Council Bluffs.
