|---|---|---|---|
| COI.1Conflict-of-interest disclosureAre commissioners and senior election staff required by statute to disclose financial interests (vendor relationships, party positions, candidate connections) publicly? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-18 |
| COI.2Judicial review of administrative decisionsIs the right to seek judicial review of election-authority decisions codified, with standing, timeline, and venue defined? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-18 |
Commission
30.0% · 2/5| Datapoint | Score | Rationale & evidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| COMM.1Statutory grounding of commissionIs the election commission's existence and core mandate set in the constitution (rather than statute alone, regulation, or executive order)? | 1/250.0% | Article 25 codifies the multi-tier commission system: CEC, regional, district, precinct, referendum commissions. Article 34 codifies formation procedures. Article 37 codifies organization of work. Article 42 codifies district commission powers. Article 83 codifies regional aggregation. Statute-level grounding strong; Constitution Article 71 grounds CEC (not surfaced). | § view source 2026-05-18 |
| COMM.2Multi-branch appointmentAre commission members appointed by multiple branches (legislature, judiciary, executive) such that no single branch unilaterally controls composition? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-18 |
| COMM.3Term protectionAre commissioner terms defined in statute with fixed length, staggered cycles, and statutory grounds for removal? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-18 |
| COMM.4Political-balance requirementIs the commission's composition required by statute to be politically balanced (party-balanced, supermajority-confirmation, or independent appointment by judiciary)? | 0.5/150.0% | Article 35 codifies multi-source nomination to commissions: 'Political parties, other public associations, labor collectives of organizations' may nominate representatives. Article 34 codifies formation. Article 62 codifies party nomination of deputies. Article 70 codifies cancellation. Multi-source nomination framework codified, though political-balance composition is heavily state-controlled in practice per OSCE/ODIHR reports. | § view source 2026-05-18 |
Funding
25.0% · 1/4| Datapoint | Score | Rationale & evidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| FUND.1Independent funding lineIs the election authority's budget a separate statutory line item (not subject to mid-cycle reallocation by the executive branch alone)? | 0/10.0% | Article 55 (vote counting) and Article 52 (voting at polling station) — wrong target. Funding framework lives in Article 48 (Expenses for election preparation), partially surfaced. Belarus's elections are state-budget funded but separate-line-item codification not directly surfaced. | § view source 2026-05-18 |
| FUND.2Multi-year funding cycleAre election infrastructure budgets set on a multi-year cycle (avoiding annual political renegotiation of election-administration money)? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-18 |
| FUND.3Foreign funding prohibitionIs foreign-source funding of the election authority (and election administration vendors, where applicable) prohibited by statute? | 1/250.0% | Article 48 codifies election-funding source as state budget — foreign-source prohibition implicit. Article 155 (basic terms) defines campaigning. Article 70 codifies cancellation grounds (including foreign funding violations). Article 68 (candidate registration) requires source disclosure. Foreign-source prohibition statutorily codified through state-budget-only funding rule. | § view source 2026-05-18 |
Staff Training

|---|---|---|---|
| STAFF.1Career professional staffIs the election authority's career staff (professional employees, not political appointees) protected by civil-service or analogous merit-based statute? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-18 |
| STAFF.2Mandatory trainingIs training for election officials and poll workers required by statute, with content and frequency defined? | 0/10.0% | Article 33 codifies CEC organizational duties — implies training oversight. Article 77 (release of candidates from labor duties). Article 24 (local executive/administrative powers). Article 101 (Council of Republic candidate registration). No specific mandatory-training framework codified — training delegated to CEC regulations. | § view source 2026-05-18 |
| STAFF.3Whistleblower protectionAre election-related whistleblower protections (for staff reporting irregularities) codified in statute? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-18 |

|---|---|---|---|
| CERT.1Certification process codifiedIs the voting-equipment certification process (criteria, evaluators, timeline, public-comment period) codified in statute or regulation? | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion.

No equipment decertification framework (no equipment regime). | § view source 2026-05-18 |
