Each state receiving federal funds under the Help America Vote Act is required to establish and maintain administrative complaint procedures to resolve alleged violations of Title III of HAVA . The State Board has expanded the use of the administrative complaint procedure to individuals who feel aggrieved by an action regarding voter registration. The State Board previously adopted regulations establishing complaint procedures, and these procedures are in effect. See COMAR Chapter 33.01.05.
