| Notes: | Meyers was elected Nobles County Court Commissioner via a write-in campaign in November 1974, but the county auditor did not certify his victory because Meyers was only 19 years old, not 21. A Nobles County District Court judge upheld the decision on the grounds that the 26th Amendment does not apply to the eligibility of adults younger than 21 to run for office, only the right to vote. |
