Iowa Admin. Code r. 721-23.10

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 11, December 11, 2024

Rule 721-23.10 - Ineligible applicants

(1)Ineligible minor applicants. An agency that has applicants who are ineligible to vote because they are minors shall not offer an opportunity to register to vote to applicants who the agency has validated are under the age of 17. The agency must still offer information about voter registration to all applicants.

(2)All other ineligible applicants. Except for those applicants specifically described in subrule 23.10(1), the opportunity to register to vote must be offered to every applicant. The applicant, not the agency, is responsible for determining the applicant's eligibility to register to vote. The agency shall accept a registration form even if it is submitted by an applicant the agency believes to be ineligible to register to vote.

Applicants who are not accepted for services or assistance by an agency shall be offered the opportunity to register to vote. Even if the applicant will not receive services or assistance from the agency, voter registration forms shall be processed and transmitted not later than the final working day of the week to the appropriate county commissioner of elections as required by Iowa Code section 48A.21.
