EIIElection Integrity Index

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 56 of the PRC Election Law concerns the termination of positions held by standing committee members and specialized committee members of people's congresses when they resign. It has no relevance to downloadable public packages, certificates, device records, or result signatures related to election verification.

No matching sections in corpus.

The statute explicitly mandates that village administrative archives must include election documents and ballots (选举文件和选票), establishing a legal requirement for maintaining paper records of elections. This requirement for preserved ballots constitutes a voter-verifiable paper trail.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section of the PRC Constitution addresses rural and urban collective economic organizations, cooperative economics, and property rights. It contains no provisions related to election integrity, chain-of-custody documentation, or custody of hardware used in election processes.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section of the PRC Constitution addresses the immunity from arrest and prosecution enjoyed by National People's Congress delegates. It concerns parliamentary privilege and does not address criminal penalties for unauthorized device access or tamper protection, which is the subject of criterion 2.4.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 99 of the PRC Constitution addresses the powers and functions of local people's congresses regarding legislative oversight, budget approval, and economic planning. It does not address post-election audits, election administration, or election verification procedures. The section is entirely unrelated to the criterion of mandatory post-election audits.

The section provides for voter-selected poll observers and vote counters to participate in vote verification and record-keeping, which indicates some public oversight mechanism. However, it does not explicitly grant access to 'parties, media, and citizens' as distinct categories, nor does it address broader 'audit' processes beyond the immediate post-voting tabulation. The provision focuses narrowly on monitoring the vote count itself rather than comprehensive post-election audits.

The section establishes that the Standing Committee or Presidium of the People's Congress makes final determinations regarding representative qualification and election validity based on the Credentials Review Committee's report, and these determinations result in either confirmation of credentials or declaration of election invalidity. This demonstrates binding legal force on the final certified result.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 45 of the PRC Electoral Law addresses election validity thresholds, candidate qualification rules, and procedures for run-off elections. It does not address the publication or signing of ballot contests, layouts, or tabulation rules before polls open—all elements central to the software verifiability criterion. The section is procedurally focused, not about pre-election transparency or publication.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses village committee disclosure obligations and government oversight of information publication accuracy. It does not address election software verification, binary code matching, or post-election integrity checks of voting systems or technology. The criterion concerns technical verification of election software, which is entirely outside the scope of this administrative transparency provision.

The section establishes that election observers (monitors and tellers) are to be selected by voters or representatives, which suggests some form of observer participation. However, the text does not explicitly grant 'full procedural access' to party or civil-society observers, nor does it detail the scope of their rights during voting and counting. The provision is limited to the selection mechanism and conflict-of-interest rules rather than comprehensive observer access rights.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the removal and dismissal of representatives' positions within people's congresses and the announcement procedures for such dismissals. It contains no provisions regarding precinct-level election results publication timelines or transparency requirements for electoral reporting.

The section requires establishment of village affairs archives including election documents, ballots, and meeting records. However, it does not explicitly mandate that such logs be public, signed, or append-only in nature. The requirement is for archival documentation and accuracy, not for a publicly accessible, cryptographically secured event log.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses funding, compensation, and budget allocation for village committees and public affairs. It contains no content related to voting systems, device protocols, technical standards, or vote formats. The criterion concerns election technology standards; this statute section is purely about fiscal administration.

The statute explicitly mandates secret ballot voting (无记名投票), which is the foundational legal guarantee for voter-ballot unlinkability. This establishes that votes are cast without identifying information and cannot be linked back to individual voters. The requirement is enforceable as a statutory obligation on election administration.

The statute establishes a general principle that election committees must set up polling places according to convenience for voters, but does not specify comprehensive accessibility standards for vision, motor, or language accommodations at every polling location. It only addresses special arrangements for voters with mobility issues (via mobile ballot boxes), which covers one category of accessibility needs but not a comprehensive mandate.

“选 举 委 员 会 应 当 根 据 各 选 区 选 民 分 布 状 况，按 照 方 便 选 民 投 票 的 原 则 设 立 投 票 站”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 38 addresses polling place location principles and voting methods (voting stations, elections meetings, mobile ballot boxes) but does not establish a numerical floor or ratio requirement for polling places per voter population or per geographic area. It states only that the election committee should set up polling stations according to voter distribution and convenience principles, which is discretionary rather than mandatory quantitative.
