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

Rule 721-28.6 - Cancellations and restorations of voter registration due to jury declination

(1) Based upon information provided to the state registrar by the state or federal judicial branch, the list of likely matches of ineligible voters shall be produced for each county and provided to each county registrar.

(2) On a monthly basis, the state registrar shall, using predetermined search criteria, compare the list of declined jurors against the list of registered voters.

(3) Within 15 days of the receipt of the list produced by the state registrar in accordance with 28.6(2), the county registrar shall review the list of likely matches, determine the accuracy of the search results and cancel the registrations of those voters found to be ineligible to vote. Notice shall be sent to the voter at the voter's address in the voter registration file pursuant to Iowa Code section 48A.30(2). The notice shall provide the voter an opportunity to have the county registrar review any relevant information that establishes the voter's eligibility to vote. When inclusion of a voter's name on the list of likely matches is found to be inaccurate, the registrar shall mark the record as a "no match" and provide that information to the state registrar.

This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 48A.30 as amended by 2017 Iowa Acts, House File 516, section 4.
