An identity $p(x_1,\dots, x_n) = q(x_1,\dots, x_n)$ is called normal if it is of the form $x_1 = x_1$ or neither $p$ nor $q$ is a variable. For a variety $\cal V$, ${\cal N} ({\cal V})$ denotes the variety defined by all normal identities of $\cal V$. Let ${\germ A} \in {\cal V}$, $\Theta$ any congruence on $\germ A$ and $\kappa$ any function sending each $\Theta$ class to an element of the class and satisfying some non-triviality property. The author defines the choice algebras: For any $n$-ary term $f(x_1, \dots, x_n)$ and for elements $a_1, \dots, a_n$ let $f_{(\Theta,\kappa)} (a_1, \dots, a_n) = \kappa([f(a_1, \dots, a_n)]\Theta)$. The author proves that ${\cal N}({\cal V})$ consists of the homomorphic images of the choice algebras of the given variety. Some related questions and examples are discussed.
