| INFO.1Statutory ballot information pamphletIs there a statutory requirement to publish a voter pamphlet (or analog) with candidate and ballot-question information, with content and distribution defined? | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 23 of the PRC Electoral Law addresses multilingual documentation requirements for autonomous regions, autonomous prefectures, and autonomous counties. The provision mandates that election documents, voter rolls, voter certificates, candidate nomination lists, representative certificates of election, and election committee seals must be published simultaneously in local ethnic minority languages. While this section codifies multilingual notice triggers (satisfying criterion MULTI.1), it does NOT establish a statutory requirement for a voter pamphlet or ballot information pamphlet with enumerated content requirements and distribution procedures. The section focuses on language accessibility of existing election documents, not on the creation of a comprehensive voter information pamphlet containing candidate information and ballot-question material. There is no specification of pamphlet content, format, or distribution timeline in this provision. | § view source 2026-06-01 |

| CAND.1Candidate-filing public accessAre candidate-filing documents (nominating petitions, eligibility certifications) required by statute to be publicly accessible within a defined time? | 0.5/150.0% | The statute codifies timing requirements for public disclosure of candidate information (15 days and 7 days before election day) and mandates publication of candidate names and 'basic circumstances' (基本情况). However, the criterion specifically asks whether candidate-filing documents themselves—such as nominating petitions and eligibility certifications—are required to be publicly accessible. The section specifies what shall be published (候选人名单及代表候选人的基本情况: candidate lists and basic information), but does not explicitly address public accessibility of the underlying filing documents (nominating petitions, certifications of eligibility, or similar primary nomination records). The statute establishes procedural clarity on notification timing and content scope, but falls short of the criterion's full requirement regarding access to filing documentation itself. | § view source 2026-06-01 |
| CAND.2Candidate disqualification publicationIf a candidate is disqualified or withdraws after the ballot is printed, is the public-notice procedure codified in statute? | 0/10.0% | No matching sections in corpus. | no FTS match 2026-06-01 |
