Grievance/Complaint Procedure
If you believe you have been denied access to voting or had a difficult experience accessing the polling location and/or voting process, you have a right to file a complaint. Title III of the Help America Vote Act required states to have a complaint process for persons who feel, because of a disability, they were denied access to the voting process. In North Dakota, the complaint is submitted directly to the Secretary of State for review and action. Submit form SFN 54152 (pdf) North Dakota Election Administrative Complaint
Filing form for Title III of
The Help America Vote Act of 2002.
Persons wishing to file a complaint need to submit, in writing, a notarized, signed and sworn account of the violation to the North Dakota Secretary of State. Once received, the Secretary of State has 90 days to determine if a violation of Title III has occurred and define the action to be taken, if it is decided a violation has occurred.
