(1) Directly or indirectly seek to influence a consumer's political preference or party enrollment.
(2) Make any statement to a consumer or take any action, the purpose or effect of which is, to discourage the consumer from registering to vote; or
(3) Make any statement to a consumer or take any action, the purpose or effect of which is, to lead the consumer to believe that a decision to register or not to register has any bearing on the availability of services or benefits.
(D) Upon receipt of a completed registration form, the employee shall note, in indelible ink, the date such form was received by the designated agency.
