     201.171 Posting voting history; failure to vote; 
  registration removed. 

    Within six weeks after every election, the county auditor 
 shall post the voting history for every person who voted in the 
 election.  After the close of the calendar year, the secretary 
 of state shall determine if any registrants have not voted 
 during the preceding four years and shall change the status of 
 those registrants to "inactive" in the statewide registration 
 system.  The secretary of state shall also prepare a report to 
 the county auditor containing the names of all registrants whose 
 status was changed to "inactive." 

    Although not counted in an election, a late absentee ballot 
 must be considered a vote for the purpose of continuing 
 registration.
