Title IV of the Help America Vote Act requires each state to establish a state-based administrative complaint procedure. This procedure allows individuals to file a complaint if any person believes that a violation under Title III of the Help America Vote Act has occurred, is occurring or is about to occur.
A violation of Title III would include issues dealing with the following HAVA sections:
- voting system standards
- provisional voting
- voter information requirements
- statewide voter registration database and
