EVCIElection Voter-Confidence Index

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the granting of powers to party poll monitors (fiscales) and the designation procedures for fiscal generals, including their credentials, presentation timing, and notification to the electoral authority. It contains no provisions regarding voter pamphlets, candidate information distribution, ballot question materials, or voter communication frameworks. The section is entirely procedural regarding party representation at polling places and does not establish statutory requirements for publishing or distributing ballot information to voters.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: The provided section of the Código Electoral Nacional (Ley 19.945), Título III covers ballot approval procedures (art. 64), electoral campaign regulations (arts. 64 bis through 64 nonies), timing of campaigns, media advertising restrictions, government publicity rules, and mandatory presidential debates. While article 64 addresses ballot approval and requires that ballot models be distinguishable 'even for illiterate voters' ("aun para los electores analfabetos"), this language addresses visual clarity and accessibility for non-readers rather than multilingual ballot requirements. The section contains no codified triggers based on population thresholds, language-minority population percentages, or statutory criteria that would mandate multilingual ballots or voter materials in specific languages. The criterion specifically requires triggers set by statute; clarity for illiterate voters does not satisfy the multilingual requirement.

The statute establishes that candidate-filing documents (affidavits of eligibility, complete affiliation data, electoral domicile, sworn declarations regarding ineligibilities) must be submitted to electoral judges as part of list officialization. However, the text mandates submission and judicial receipt but does not explicitly codify a requirement that these documents be made publicly accessible within a defined timeframe. The statute creates a filing requirement and procedural framework (submission to electoral judges, specific timing windows like 50 days before election), but does not enumerate a public accessibility mandate or specific disclosure timeline. Under the dual-scholar test, one scholar would note the robust filing requirements satisfy the 'candidate-filing information' aspect; another would emphasize the absence of explicit public access or disclosure timing provisions. The criterion asks for both requirement AND public accessibility within defined time; this section satisfies only the former.

Article 61 of the Argentine Electoral Code establishes procedural timelines and mechanisms for candidate disqualification (including procedures for substitution and notification via certified telegram). However, the criterion asks specifically about PUBLIC NOTICE PROCEDURE when a candidate is disqualified or withdraws AFTER the ballot is printed. The statute addresses notification to the Electoral Board (Junta Electoral) and inter-agency communication, but does not explicitly codify how the public (voters) must be notified of such disqualifications or how such information must be communicated to the general electorate once ballots are already printed. The section details internal judicial and electoral administrative procedures but lacks explicit statutory codification of a public-notice framework for post-ballot-printing candidate changes. This represents a gap between internal administrative notification and public voter communication requirements.

This statutory section codifies timing (minimum 15 days before election) and specifies content (polling place location and polling station authorities/presidents). However, it does not address notification of election date itself or voter registration deadlines. The section addresses only polling place notification, not comprehensive pre-election voter notification. The statute establishes a clear notification framework with defined timing and content for one component (polling location), but omits other critical notification elements that would constitute complete pre-election notice (election date, registration deadlines, voting eligibility). The dual-scholar test would recognize this as partial satisfaction: the framework is partially codified in statute with some timing and content requirements, but incomplete.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 79 of the Código Electoral Nacional addresses the administrative power of the Junta Electoral to change polling-place locations in cases of force majeure, but it contains no requirement regarding individual voter notification. The statute grants discretionary authority to alter locations ('podrá variar su ubicación') without specifying any obligation to notify voters, timeframe for notification, or mechanism for communicating such changes to affected voters. The criterion requires a statutory requirement for individual notice within a defined timeframe; this provision satisfies neither element. The section is purely procedural regarding administrative authority, not voter communication procedure.
