Emmet County, IA (northwestiowanow.com) — There were no candidates on the ballot for Emmet County Attorney this year. The County Auditor’s office – which handles elections – says 266 write-in ballots were cast. The current occupant of the office – Melanie Summers Bauler – received 106 votes. She had not sought re-election in Emmet County but had run for the Republican nomination for Dickinson County County Attorney in June.

The ballots will be certified Tuesday by the Emmet County Board of Supervisors.

No word on whether Summers Bauler will serve.
