Public election event log

§ 64 codifies that 'the municipal council records the time of receipt of a postal vote on the outer envelope. In a protocol the number of postal votes received and the date of receipt and the number of postal votes returned is recorded.' § 70 codifies vote-count protocol-keeping. § 74 codifies signed sealed packages. Protocol-keeping framework codified.

§ 79 codifies the vaalipöytäkirja (election protocol): the polling committee must designate a member to keep a protocol recording the date and times voting began/ended, members present, assistants, number of voters, total ballots and ballots in each group, the time ballots were sealed, and which election agents and other authorised persons were present at sorting and counting. § 98 codifies entry of the result in the protocol. § 63 codifies advance-vote-document checking minutes. Comprehensive protocol regime codified.

“Vaalilautakunnan on määrättävä yksi jäsenistään pitämään vaalipöytäkirjaa, johon merkitään:”

Local Elections Law Article 37 codifies that the second copy of the polling-board record (записник) is posted at the polling place for public inspection. MP Election Law Article 76 (4528) imposes identical requirement. This is a statutory precinct-level public event log.

“Други примерак записника истиче се на бирачком месту на јавни увид.”

13 kap. 5 § codifies that 'the county administrative board shall keep a protocol of the proceeding.' 12 kap. 6 § codifies that the municipal commission keeps a protocol of its count. 9 kap. 16 § codifies that a protocol shall be kept of vote-reception at a polling station. 14 kap. 26 § codifies that the protocol is presented for public review at result publication. 11 kap. 3 § codifies handover of protocols to the municipal commission. Multi-tier public protocol regime codified.

“Länsstyrelsen skall föra protokoll över förrättningen.”

§ 19273 makes the VVPAT paper trail the official record, accessible per public-inspection rules; § 19271 defines accessibility for the cast vote record. The VVPAT + canvass-tutanak hybrid serves as the event-log analog. Not a single signed append-only log but a functionally-equivalent paper-trail regime.

10 ILCS 5/24C-2 defines 'audit trail' to include 'a log of machine activities and routine and unusual intervention by authorized and unauthorized individuals' — internal log codified, but not specifically a public-facing event log.

KRS 117.125(23) requires every approved voting system to 'produce a real-time audit log record for the voting system,' and KRS 117.001(1) defines the audit log as a detailed record of all actions and events including log-in attempts, election setup, ballot preparation, diagnostics, and error messages. KRS 117.383(7) provides for review of any audit log. A real-time audit log is mandated, though not framed as a public, signed, append-only log.

§ 35 of the Local Government Council Election Law requires the polling-station commission secretary to keep an election procedure report from the opening of the station, recording voter complaints; § 28 of the Saeima Election Law keeps the parallel log. It is a contemporaneous log open to observers, but not a public, signed, append-only published event log.

“shall write up the election procedure report in accordance with the procedures specified by the Central Electoral Commission.”

§ 10-15 codifies protocols (protokoll) maintained by polling-place leaders and the election board over election conduct. § 11-6 codifies publication of the protocol. § 12-4 / § 13-4 codify publication of protocols at county and municipal levels. Protocol-keeping codified, though without cryptographic signing or append-only requirement.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the production and secure storage of audit logs and voter-verified paper audit trails in the context of election contests or recounts, but it does not require that these logs be public, signed, or append-only. The statute focuses on securing materials under lock and key in the county courthouse, which is the opposite of public accessibility.

The section requires detailed documentation of election procedures in a protocol (Niederschrift) and mandates recording of specific election actions, including invalidated ballots numbered sequentially. However, the statute does not explicitly require the log to be public, signed in a manner ensuring authenticity, or append-only in the technical sense required by the criterion. The documentation is internal to the electoral authority.

The statute requires electronic voting machines to print a record of each vote and deposit it in a sealed location, which provides some audit capability. However, the section does not establish that this log is public, signed, or append-only in the cryptographic sense required by criterion 6.4. The statute addresses voter verification and physical record creation but not the public and signed event log infrastructure contemplated by the criterion.

The section requires regional election commissions to announce decisions publicly and maintain a public register of complaints and signals (point 21), but does not establish a legally required, signed, append-only election event log specifically. The disclosure requirements are present but do not meet the full technical and legal specification of an immutable, chronologically ordered, append-only log with mandatory signatures.

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.

The section requires polling station boards to submit a record of their work to municipal/city election commissions within 12 hours. While this creates a documented election record (zapisnik), the statute does not explicitly mandate that this log be publicly accessible, digitally append-only, or formally signed in the sense required for a true public election event log.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses examination and certification of voting machines by the Secretary of State, including requirements for testing and documentation. It does not establish or require a public, signed, append-only election event log as part of voting system operations or election administration.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses voter correction procedures on electronic voting systems with paper audit trails, but does not establish, require, or mandate a public, signed, append-only election event log. It focuses on individual voter error correction rather than comprehensive election event logging for public transparency and observation.

The section requires that each polling station's official record (procès-verbal) be immediately transmitted by its president to the main bureau, along with ballots and documents. This mandates a documented record-keeping process, but the statute does not explicitly require that this event log be public, signed, or append-only in the technical sense specified by the criterion.

“Le procès-verbal de chaque bureau de vote est immédiatement porté par son président au bureau principal en même temps que les bulletins de vote et toutes les pièces tenues par le bureau.”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 812 establishes technical requirements for voting machines including secrecy, vote limits, write-in capability, and paper audit trails, but does not require a public, signed, append-only election event log. The section mandates paper records for audit purposes and machine counters, but these are not the same as a public, signed, chronological event log of election system activities.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 46 addresses the printing, security, and distribution of voting documents, including party observation and audit provisions. However, it does not establish or require a public, signed, append-only election event log. The audit trail mentioned in sub-article (2) relates to verification of the printing process, not a comprehensive public election event log.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 9-102 establishes voting system certification requirements and accessibility standards, but does not mandate a public, signed, append-only election event log. While the section requires voter-verifiable paper records and audit trails for recounts, it does not specifically require an election event log with the specified characteristics (public, signed, append-only).

The section requires a tally and computation record (acta de escrutinio y cómputo) for each election, which establishes a documented log of election events at the polling station. However, the statute does not explicitly mandate that the log be public, append-only, or digitally signed, which are key elements of a modern election event log system. The requirement is for an official record rather than a publicly accessible, append-only ledger.

“Se levantará un acta de escrutinio y cómputo para cada elección”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 168.794 contains definitions of election-related terms (audit trail, ballot, electronic tabulating equipment, etc.) but does not establish any requirement for a public, signed, append-only election event log. The section is definitional in nature and does not impose obligations regarding event logging or public transparency mechanisms.

The statute requires voting systems to maintain an internal audit trail of election events in printed form, satisfying the requirement for an event log. However, the statute does not explicitly require that this log be public or signed, nor does it mandate that it be append-only. These are key components of the criterion that are not addressed in the text.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section requires detailed accounting and reporting of contributions and expenditures by political treasurers, with audit trails for certain payments. However, it does not establish a public, signed, append-only election event log. The statute addresses internal record-keeping and State Board inspection procedures, not a public-facing immutable event log of election activities.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses voter verified paper audit trails in recounts and their preservation and public access under open records law, but it does not establish or require a public, signed, append-only election event log as described by the criterion. The section focuses on ballot preservation and treatment of audit trails, not on event logging requirements.

The statute requires that a district electoral commission prepare a voting protocol (protokół głosowania) after establishing election results. While this establishes a record-keeping requirement, the text does not explicitly mandate that the log be public, signed, or append-only—the core technical and transparency requirements of the criterion.

“Obwodowa komisja wyborcza po ustaleniu wyników wyborów sporządza protokół głosowania”

The section mandates creation of a detailed election operations record (acta) by the secretary, documenting voting and counting procedures with specific required contents. However, it does not explicitly require that this log be public, signed, or append-only—it establishes documentation requirements but not the public accessibility or technical immutability properties central to the criterion.

“Compete ao secretário proceder à elaboração da acta das operações de votação e apuramento.”

The section requires that a copy of the printout tape (which includes a timed audit trail) be made available to the public at the polling place. However, this does not constitute a legally required 'public, signed, append-only election event log' as specified by the criterion. The statute requires public availability of a document but does not establish it as an official event log maintained in append-only form with signing requirements throughout the election process.

“A copy shall be made available to the public at the polling place”

The section requires that ballot distribution and handover be documented via process-verbal (official records), which provides some documentation mechanism. However, this does not establish a public, signed, append-only election event log as contemplated by the criterion. The records are administrative documents between officials, not necessarily public or designed with cryptographic append-only properties.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section defines voting systems and assigns duties to the State Election Commission regarding system approval, training, and procurement. It does not address or require a public, signed, append-only election event log, which is a specific technical transparency mechanism.

The section requires signed records (acta) documenting the constitution of the polling station and listing observers/interventores, with copies distributed to candidates. However, it does not establish a comprehensive, append-only event log that continuously records events throughout election day—only the initial constitution of the polling station. The requirement lacks the continuous, chronological documentation of all election events needed to satisfy the criterion.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section establishes voting system standards related to ballot verification, paper records, accessibility, and error rates, but does not address or require a public, signed, append-only election event log. The audit capacity and permanent paper record requirements are distinct from a public event log mechanism.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: The section requires election officers to create a log of adjudication-related information (Subsection 4) and a final election results database, but does not mandate that such logs be public, signed, or append-only. The statute specifies data retention and capture requirements but contains no provisions establishing public access, cryptographic signing, or immutability constraints characteristic of append-only logs.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 24.2-629 describes the State Board's approval process for electronic voting systems and the criteria for evaluating their technical and operational capabilities. It does not address public election event logs, append-only data structures, digital signatures, or any transparency requirements for recording election events during actual voting or tallying. The section focuses on equipment certification and testing rather than operational logging requirements.

The statute requires a log of ballot duplication activities with specific information including control numbers and initials of participants, which provides some record-keeping and auditability. However, the criterion requires a 'public, signed, append-only election event log,' and this section does not explicitly require the log to be public, does not mandate digital signatures or append-only structure, and does not specify that it must cover all election events beyond ballot duplication. The log requirement is also limited to a specific procedural step rather than comprehensive election events.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section provides only definitional language for various voting equipment and systems terms used in West Virginia's election code. It does not address election event logs, public logging requirements, signed or append-only data structures, or transparency mechanisms for recording election activities. The definitions are technical in nature and do not impose any requirement for a public event log.
