EVCIElection Voter-Confidence Index

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 28 of Czech Law 275/2012 addresses only the physical format and ordering of ballots for presidential elections—specifically that first-round candidates appear on a single ballot with order determined by lottery, and second-round candidates each receive separate ballots. This section contains no requirement for a statutory voter pamphlet or ballot information guide (brochure, booklet, or analog). It does not enumerate content requirements for candidate information beyond ballot presentation mechanics, nor does it specify distribution methods or statutory obligations to publish supplementary ballot information. The criterion requires a statutory requirement for a voter information pamphlet with defined content and distribution; this section addresses only ballot construction logistics.

No matching sections in corpus.

Section 21(3) of Law 275/2012 requires the Ministry of Interior to publish candidate-filing information on its election-designated internet pages without undue delay (bez zbytečného odkladu) following submission of nomination papers. The statute enumerates specific candidate-filing content to be made publicly accessible: the list of MPs and senators who submitted nominations, information about candidates proposed, names of citizen nominators, and information about candidates proposed by citizens. This satisfies the criterion as it establishes both a requirement for public accessibility and a defined timeframe (without undue delay), along with enumerated content requirements.

“Ministerstvo vnitra bez zbytečného odkladu po podání kandidátní listiny na svých internetových stránkách určených pro volby zveřejní a) přehled poslanců a senátorů, kteří podali kandidátní listiny nebo se připojili k již podaným kandidátním listinám, b) informaci, který poslanec nebo senátor je součástí více než jedné skupiny navrhujících poslanců nebo navrhujících senátorů, c) informaci, kterého kandidáta poslanci nebo senátoři navrhují, d) jméno a příjmení navrhujícího občana a informaci, kterého kandidáta navrhuje.”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 48 of Law 62/2003 addresses the mathematical formula for converting votes into mandates (Skrutinium). While the text acknowledges candidate withdrawals ('vzdali'), disqualifications ('byli odvoláni'), and loss of eligibility due to foreign citizenship restrictions, it exclusively addresses how such candidates are treated in the seat allocation calculation—they are simply excluded from the divisor calculation. The section contains no codified procedure for public notice, notification timing, or communication of disqualifications to voters. The statute specifies only the technical consequence (exclusion from seat calculations), not the voter communication framework required by CAND.2. Public-notice procedures for candidate disqualifications must be found in other statutory provisions, not in this section.

The statute establishes a notification requirement with timing (90 days before election) and codifies that elections must be announced in the official gazette (Sbírka zákonů a mezinárodních smluv). However, the section does not explicitly enumerate content requirements for voter notification (e.g., polling place information, registration deadlines, or voter-facing notice procedures). The statute addresses official announcement of the election itself rather than comprehensive voter notification including polling locations and deadlines. The criterion requires notification rules with both timing AND content defined; this section provides timing and announcement channel but lacks explicit content specification for voter-directed notices.

“Volby do zastupitelstev obcí vyhlašuje, nestanoví-li tento zákon jinak, prezident republiky nejpozději 90 dnů před jejich konáním. Vyhlášení voleb se vyhlašuje ve Sbírce zákonů a mezinárodních smluv.”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section § 10 of Zákon č. 424/1991 Sb. addresses notification requirements for political parties and movements to report certain data to the ministry within 15 days of a decision by the relevant party body. This provision concerns internal party registration and administrative notification to government authorities, not voter notification about polling-place changes. The criterion NOTIF.2 specifically requires statutory provisions for notifying individual voters when their polling place changes between elections. This section contains no such requirement—it neither mandates individual voter notice nor establishes a timeframe for communicating polling-place changes to affected voters. The statutory obligation is purely administrative (party-to-ministry communication), not voter-facing communication.
