Re: City Precinct and Ward Plan Approval
Dear Ms. Voss:
As you know, my office is responsible for reviewing and approving all city reprecincting
and ward plans.
Under Iowa law, there are several technical and legal requirements that each plan must
satisfy before the plan can be approved. My office has worked closely with the no-n-partisan
Legislative Service Bureau and the Iowa Attorney General's office to make sure that all of these
requirements have been satisfied by each plan before it is approved_
My staff, with the guidance of the Legislative Service Bureau, has completed its review of the
precinct and ward plan you have submitted for the City of Ames.
The plan appears to meet all applicable requirements, and I am pleased to convey
approval of your plan.
Under Iowa Code section 49.7,the new precincts become effective January 15, 2002.
To the extent the new precincts and new wards differ from the old precincts and old wards,
the old precincts and old wards must be used for all elections before January 15, 2002.
Please contact Bob Galbraith,Deputy Secretary of State for Elections and Voter
Registration, if you have any questions. He can be reached by telephone at(515)281-
6598, or by e-mail at babbraith@sos_state.is.us.
Sincerely,
Chet ver
