by a violation of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 or a violation of
a voter registration or removal procedure under the Florida Election Code. Such
complaints can only be filed under Section

violation was committed by the Florida Department of State, a voter
registration agency, a supervisor of elections, the Florida Department of
Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, or an Armed Forces Recruitment Center. If
the complaint involves the Florida Department of State, a mediator other than a
department employee is to be appointed by the Governor.
