(1) Any person who believes a violation of this
part 5 has occurred may file a written complaint no later than sixty days after the date of the
violation with the secretary of state. If the secretary of state determines, after a hearing, that the
violation has occurred, he or she shall so notify the attorney general, who may institute a civil
action for relief, including a permanent or temporary injunction, a restraining order, or any other
appropriate order, in the district court. Upon a proper showing that such person has engaged or is
about to engage in any prohibited acts or practices, a permanent or temporary injunction,
restraining order, or other order shall be granted without bond by the court. If, within one
hundred twenty days after a complaint is filed with the secretary of state, no civil action for relief
is instituted by the attorney general, the complainant shall have a private right of action based on
an alleged violation of this part 5 and may institute a civil action in district court for any

(2) Unless a person intentionally takes voluntary action to register to vote knowing that
he or she is not eligible to register, the transfer of the person's electronic record by a voter
registration agency in accordance with section 1-2-213.3 or 1-2-502.5 does not constitute the
completion of a voter registration form by that person. If such a registration is processed by the
state, it is presumed to have been officially authorized by the state and the person is not subject
to any penalty under this code.
