state of Iowa is based upon a constitution adopted by the people and upon statute laws enacted from time to time by the general assembly. Iowa has had two state constitutions, Tthe first approved in 1846, the second one in 1857. The present con- stitution has been amended a number of times. The Electorate All men and women who have lived in Iowa for six months and in the county in which they claim a residence for sixty days are entitled to vote if they are citizens of the United States and are twenty-one years of age or over. Persons convicted of infamous crimes and those declared idiotic or insane, are, however, disfranchised. The right of women to vote in Iowa is based upon the nineteenth amendment to the United States Constitution. The regular elections for national, state, district, and county officers are held on the Tuesday following the first Monday of November of the even-numbered years. Candidates, with a few exceptions, are nominated at the primary election held on the first Monday in June preceding the general election. Provision is also made for nominations by petition or convention. Political parties must use the primary for nominating candi- dates, but in case no candidate receives the necessary thirty-five per cent at the primary, a convention may nominate. The Legislative Department The legislative authority of the state of Iowa is vested by the consti- tution in a general assembly which consists of a senate and a house of representatives. The terms of both senators and representatives begin on the first day of January following their election. Regular sessions are held biennially, commencing on the second Monday of January of the odd- numbered years. Special sessions of the general assembly may be called by the proclamation of the governor. The house of representatives consists of one hundred and eight mem- bers, elected for two years. Each of the ninety-nine counties is entitled to one representative and each of the nine counties having the largest population elects one additional representative. Any person who has re- sided in the State one year and has the qualifications of a voter is eligible for election as a representative. Women were admitted to the general assembly by an amendment to the state constitution adopted in 1926. The house of representatives elects a speaker and other officers. The senate consists of fifty members, elected by districts for a term of four years. A senatorial district contains from one to five counties, according to population, and elects one senator. According to the consti- tution approximately one-half the senators are to be elected at each alter- nate biennial election, but due to changes in the districts, the terms of twenty-one senators now expire at the end of each alternate legislative biennium and those of twenty-nine in the intervening, years. Senators must be twenty-five years of age and have the other qualifications re- quired of representatives. The Executive Department The constitution of Iowa makes provision for a governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, auditor of state, and treasurer of state, who are elected for terms of two years at the regular biennial elections in the even-numbered years. In addition, the general assembly has made pro- vision for a secretary of agriculture, elected for two years, and a board of railroad commissioners of three members and a superintendent of pub- lic instruction, chosen for four years. The supreme executive power of the State is vested in the governor. It is his duty to see that the laws are enforced, to supervise the official business of the state, to make recommendations to the general assembly, OUTLINE OP GOVERNMENT OF IOWA and to appoint various officers and boards. He has the power to call special sessions of the legislature and to veto acts passed by the general assembly, but a majority of two-thirds of each house may pass a bill over his veto. To qualify as governor, a person must have been a citizen of the United States and a resident of the state for at least two years and must be thirty years of age or over at the date of election. The lieutenant governor succeeds the governor in case of his death, resignation, or disability. His chief function is to act as president of the senate.
