Twenty-five interested persons, a governmental subdivision, an agency or association of 25 or more persons may demand an oral presentation hereon as provided in Iowa Code section 17A.4(1)"b."

Notice is also given to the public that the Administrative Rules Review Committee may, on its own motion or on written request by any individual or group, review this proposed action under section 17A.8(6) at a regular or special meeting where the public or interested persons may be heard.

Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code sections 47.1 and 17A.3, the Voter Registration Commission hereby gives Notice of Intended Action to amend Chapter 2, "Voter Registration Forms, Acceptability, Registration Dates, and Effective Dates," Iowa Administrative Code.

Any interested person may obtain paper or electronic copies of the revised application or make written suggestions or comments on the revised application on or before January 28, 2014, by contacting Sarah Reisetter, Director of Elections, Office of the Secretary of State, First Floor, Lucas State Office Building, Des Moines, Iowa 50319.
