1. Any person may request of the registrar and shall receive,
upon payment of the cost of preparation, a list of registered voters
and other data on registration and participation in elections, in
accordance with the following requirements and limitations:
a. The registrar shall prepare each list requested within
fourteen days of receipt of the request, except that the registrar
shall not be required to prepare any list within seven days of the
close of registration for any regularly scheduled election if the
preparation of the list would impede the preparation of election
registers for that election.
b. Each list shall be as current as possible, but shall in
all cases reflect voter activity reported to any commissioner
twenty-eight or more days before preparation of the list.
c. Each list shall be in the order and form specified by the
list purchaser, and shall contain the registration data specified by
the list purchaser, provided compliance with the request is within
the capability of the record maintenance system used by the
registrar.
d. Lists prepared shall not include inactive records unless
specifically requested by the requester.
e. The registrar shall prepare updates to lists at least
biweekly, and after the close of registration for a regularly
scheduled election, but before the election, if requested to do so at
the time a list is purchased. All updates shall be made available to
all requesters at the same time, and shall be in the order and form
specified by each requester.
f. The county commissioner of registration and the state
registrar of voters shall remove a voter's whole or partial social
security number, as applicable, Iowa driver's license number, or Iowa
nonoperator's identification card number from a voter registration
list prepared pursuant to this section.
2. The registrar shall update information on participation in an
election no later than sixty days after each election.
3. The registrar shall maintain a log of the name, address, and
telephone number of every person who receives a list under this
section, and of every person who reviews registration records in the
office of the registrar. Commissioners of registration shall
maintain a similar log in their offices of those who receive a list
from the commissioner or who review registration records in the
commissioner's office. Logs maintained under this subsection are
public records, and shall be available for public inspection at
reasonable times. Section History: Recent Form
