Plan Two would have divided Pottawattamie County into five districts of roughly equal population. One Supervisor would have to reside in each of the districts, and voters would still elect all five members of the Board of Supervisors. Plan Three would have also divided Pottawattamie County into five districts of roughly equal population, but voters would elect the one Supervisor who resides in the same district as the voter and would not vote for the other four Supervisors in the other four districts.
The Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors approved the special election on June 6 after private groups gathered and submitted a petition with nearly 4,000 signatures to allow county residents to choose between three options for county supervisor elections
