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
• accessibility for persons with disabilities

Complaints must be filed on a Title III HAVA complaint form.

Any person who believes that a violation of Title III of HAVA has occurred, is occurring, or is about to occur, may file a complaint. In order to initiate the complaint process, a sworn, written, signed and notarized complaint must be filed with the Secretary of State. The complaint must allege the violation with particularity, contain a reference to the section of HAVA alleged to have been violated, and identify the person or entity responsible for the alleged violation.
