(2) Any election under subsection (1) of this section may be canceled by written notice thereof to the insurer or, in the case of a self-insured employer, by notice thereof to the director. The cancellation is effective at 12 midnight ending the day the notice is received by the insurer or the director, unless a later date is specified in the notice. The insurer shall, within 10 days after receipt of a notice of cancellation under this section, send a copy of the notice to the director.
