Polling-place density floor

The statute explicitly establishes a legal floor for polling-place density by requiring at least one voting place for every 2,400 voters when precinct boundaries are changed. This directly satisfies the criterion's requirement for a legal floor on polling places per number of voters.

“the county governing body shall forthwith designate and establish at least one voting place for every 2,400 voters in each election precinct so created”

The statute establishes a legal floor for voting booths per voter volume: at least one booth per 100 votes cast in the previous election. This directly addresses polling place density by establishing a minimum ratio of voting facilities to voter turnout, ensuring adequate access.

“At every polling place, at least one voting booth shall be furnished and not less than one voting booth or screen shall be furnished for each 100 votes or fractional part of 100 votes cast in the previous election.”

The section establishes a legal floor on polling-place density by mandating that electoral mesas (polling places) be created with a maximum of 350 registered voters per mesa. This effectively creates a minimum ratio of one polling place per 350 voters, which directly satisfies the criterion's requirement for a legal floor on polling-place density.

Article 16 codifies a polling-place density mandate: 'The authorised body shall — no later than 45 days before the voting day — with the participation of the head of community and member of district electoral commission, form electoral precincts, taking into account local and other conditions.' Reinforced by Article 44 (precinct commission of at least 7 members per precinct) and Article 52 (district commission supervision). Each community has codified geographic distribution of precincts.

Article 18 codifies the precinct-formation procedure: 'Voting precincts for holding elections, referendums, and recalling a deputy are formed in districts and cities by district, city executive committees, taking into account local conditions.' Article 44 codifies precinct-commission powers. Article 35 codifies representative nomination. Geographic density floor codified.

The section establishes a legal floor on polling-place density by limiting the maximum number of voters per polling section to 1,000. This ensures a minimum density of polling places—specifically, at least one polling place per 1,000 voters—which directly satisfies the criterion of a legal floor on polling places per number of voters.

“В една избирателна секция се включват до 1000 избиратели”

The section establishes mandatory minimum numbers of voter service and polling centers tied to elector counts and time periods before/on election day. These requirements create a legal floor for polling-place density based on active electors, satisfying the criterion for a polling-place density floor.

§ 19 of the Riigikogu Election Act sets a geographic floor — at least one voting district, each with a polling place, must be formed in every rural municipality, city and Tallinn city district. This is a per-area floor rather than a per-N-voters ratio.

“At least one voting district is formed within the territory of each rural municipality and city, and of each city district of Tallinn.”

§ 101.001 + § 101.71 codify precinct-and-polling-place creation: one polling place per precinct, accessible to public, with statutory criteria for precinct boundaries.

“The board of county commissioners in each county, upon recommendation and approval of the supervisor, shall alter or create precincts for voting in the county.”

Article 58 codifies that state authorities and local self-government bodies 'shall provide the premises and inventory required for the preparation and the conduct of elections to electoral commissions for temporary use free of charge.' Article 61 codifies precinct opening at 07:00 with minimum 7 PEC members. Article 23 (not FTS-surfaced for this datapoint) sets the 20-1500 voter precinct-size floor — present in the corpus but not in this datapoint's surfaced candidates.

ΠΔ 26/2012 Άρθρο 55 codifies a maximum-800-electors-per-polling-station rule — explicit polling-place density floor codified in statute.

“Σε κάθε εκλογικό τμήμα ο αριθμός των εκλογέων δεν μπορεί να ξεπερνάει τους οκτακόσιους (800)”

The statute establishes a mandatory floor requiring at least one vote center (polling place) per 10,000 active voters, with an additional vote center required for any remaining fraction of 10,000 voters. This creates a clear legal minimum density requirement for voter access.

The section establishes a legal floor requiring that no polling place (bureau de vote) may have fewer than 300 voters, thereby setting a minimum voter-to-polling-place density standard. This directly satisfies the criterion of establishing a legal floor on polling places per voters.

“dans le cas contraire, ils sont répartis en bureaux de vote dont aucun ne peut compter plus de 600 ni moins de 300 électeurs”

Article 125 establishes a clear legal ceiling of 700 voters maximum per polling place (bureau de vote), which functions as a floor on polling-place density by ensuring that the ratio of voters to polling places cannot exceed this threshold. This directly addresses the criterion's requirement for a legal floor on polling places per voters.

The statute establishes mandatory minimums for early voting centers based on county voter population, creating a legal floor that scales with the number of registered voters. This directly addresses polling-place density by specifying required numbers of voting locations per voter population tier.

“(2) A county with fewer than 50,000 registered voters shall have one early voting center established in the county. (3) A county with at least 50,000 registered voters but fewer than 100,000 registered voters shall have two early voting centers established in the county.”

Article 253(3) establishes a clear legal floor for polling-place density by requiring one polling place (casilla) for every 750 voters or fraction thereof in each electoral section. This directly satisfies the criterion by mandating a minimum density standard.

The section establishes a mandatory minimum ratio of voting compartments/shelves/tables to voters, requiring at least one per 200 electors. This directly addresses polling-place density by setting a legal floor on the number of voting facilities available to voters.

§ 13-3-101 sets a statutory density floor — a precinct may not contain more than 2,500 registered voters, and a precinct that grows to 3,750 or more must be split to 2,500 or fewer.

“A precinct may not contain more than 2,500 registered voters.”

§ 16.1-13-29 codifies an explicit statutory polling-place density floor: 'the number of booths or compartments in precincts may not be less than one for each one hundred fifty electors or fraction of one hundred fifty electors in the precincts served by the polling place.' Additionally requires at least one certified tabulation device and ballot marking device per polling place. § 16.1-05-01 codifies election-board attendance. Explicit density floor — one of the few in the corpus.

“The number of booths or compartments in precincts may not be less than one for each one hundred fifty electors or fraction of one hundred fifty electors in the precincts served by the polling place.”

The section establishes a specific legal floor for polling-place density: in localities with over 1,000 inhabitants, one polling station must be established for every 1,000–2,000 voters. This directly mandates a minimum density threshold.

“în localităţile cu o populaţie de peste 1.000 de locuitori, câte o secţie de votare la 1.000-2.000 de alegători”

Article 19 codifies precinct formation: 'Election precincts, referendum precincts shall be formed to conduct voting and votes counting' — geographic precinct structure mandated. Article 27 codifies precinct commission formation. Article 17 (preparation of voter lists) ensures voter-list coverage. Geographic density floor codified though specific voter-cap thresholds aren't FTS-surfaced.

Local Elections Law Article 15(2) requires the election commission to designate polling places 'with particular regard to the equal distribution of voters across polling places and to the accessibility of the polling place to voters'. MP Election Law Article 34 (4486) imposes a parallel duty on the Republic Election Commission. Not a numerical density floor but a statutory equal-distribution-and-accessibility requirement.

“одређује бирачка места, при чему нарочито води рачуна о равномерној распоређености бирача на бирачким местима и о доступности бирачког места бирачима;”

This section establishes a legal floor for voting machine density at polling places, requiring at least one machine per 250 registered voters (or portion thereof). Since voting machines are essential infrastructure for polling place functionality, this requirement effectively establishes a floor on polling place capacity and accessibility per voter.

The statute establishes a minimum density requirement by capping the maximum number of electors per Electoral Section at 2,000 voters, which creates a floor on the number of polling places (Mesas Electorales) relative to the voting population. This directly satisfies the criterion of a legal floor on polling-place density.

“Cada Sección incluye un máximo de dos mil electores y un mínimo de quinientos.”

The section establishes a clear legal floor on polling place density: at least one voting center per 10,000 registered voters. This directly satisfies the criterion by mandating a minimum ratio of voting centers to voters, ensuring voter access is not left to discretion.

“For every ten thousand (10,000) registered voters, the county election commission shall locate at least one (1) convenient voting center”

§ 43.007(f) codifies a polling-place density floor for the countywide-polling-place program: the total number of countywide polling places 'may not be less than 50 percent' (65 percent in the first year) of the precinct polling places that would otherwise be located in the county, and § 43.007(m) requires at least one countywide polling place per commissioners precinct with a 2:1 cap on disparity between precincts. Polling-place density floor codified.

Law 298 Article 10 mandates institutional structure: every district gets a board, every ballot-box-area a committee.

Wis. Stat. § 5.25 codifies polling-place requirements: 'All elections under chs. 5 to 12 shall be held at the polling places provided in this section. The places chosen shall be public buildings.' § 5.15 codifies ward boundaries. § 5.85 codifies ballot handling per polling place. Together: geographic density requirement codified (one polling place per ward, with ward population caps).

Polling-place provision is codified per precinct; a strict voters-per-place statutory floor is not specified.

KRS 117.065 requires the county board of elections to 'establish the voting place for each precinct' by January 15 each year, ensuring a polling place per precinct with codified voter-accessibility requirements. The effective density floor is set by the statutory cap on precinct size (KRS 117.055), which did not surface for this datapoint.

§ 11 of the Seimas Election Law governs the formation of polling districts and § 71 codifies special polling stations in medical and social-care facilities, but a specific statutory polling-place-per-N-voters floor is not codified.

§ 204B.22 codifies a minimum-election-judge floor (4 per precinct in a state general election, 3 for precincts under 500 registered voters). § 204B.18 codifies that 'each polling place must contain a number of voting booths or voting stations IN PROPORTION TO the number of individuals eligible to vote in the precinct.' § 204B.16 codifies polling-place designation. A proportional-density requirement is codified, though without a strict numeric voters-per-place ratio.

§ 4-104 codifies board of elections designation of polling places in each election district 'in consultation with each city, town and village.' § 8-102 codifies polling place setup. § 4-132 codifies materials required at each polling place. Polling-place provision is codified; a strict statutory floor (voters-per-place) is not specified.

§ 12-14-9 codifies that 'polling places shall be selected with reference to the convenience of the voters in the various election precincts, and should be as near the center of the election precincts as practicable.' § 12-14-15 codifies polling-place change procedure. Polling-place provision is codified per precinct; a strict voters-per-place statutory floor is not specified — left to county auditor discretion.

Polling-place provision is codified per polling district; a strict numeric voters-per-place floor is not codified (Sweden uses geographic polling districts averaging ~1,400 voters per district under SCB census definitions).

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: The section establishes that the board of supervisors 'shall establish a convenient number of election precincts' and designate polling places, but contains no specific numerical floor, density requirement, or ratio of polling places to voters or geographic area. The statute allows flexibility (consolidation, combining precincts, voting centers) and requires only 'reasonable and adequate' polling places when early voters may reduce in-person turnout, but does not mandate a concrete floor.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section establishes procedures for designating, altering, and relocating polling sites, including minimum notification periods and precinct redistricting requirements. However, it does not set a legal floor on the number of polling places per population or geographic area. The requirement that precincts with more than 3,000 registered voters be redistricted is about precinct size, not about minimum polling-place density standards.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 80 grants the Electoral Commissioner discretionary power to appoint polling places as he or she 'considers necessary,' but does not establish any legal floor, minimum standard, or requirement based on voter density or geographic area. The section is purely permissive and discretionary, not prescriptive of minimum polling place quantities.

The section establishes that one polling place should ordinarily be designated for each electoral district (Wahlsprengel), which creates a floor tied to geographic subdivision rather than voter population. However, the rule is framed as default practice ('in der Regel') and permits deviations—including consolidation of multiple districts into one polling place if facilities are adequate. This weakens the binding nature of the floor and makes it more guideline than legal floor.

“ist in der Regel für jeden Wahlsprengel innerhalb desselben ein Wahllokal zu bestimmen”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 147bis addresses proxy voting procedures and eligibility criteria for voters to designate a proxy, but contains no provisions regarding polling-place density, the minimum number of polling places per voters or geographic area, or any floor standard for polling-place distribution. The section is entirely procedural regarding the mechanics of proxy voting.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 59 governs the electronic voting system, vote tallying procedures, and verification mechanisms for electronic ballot boxes. It does not address polling place density, the number of polling places, or requirements relating to polling place distribution per voters or geographic area.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: § 15280 codifies precinct-board duties but does not codify a per-voter or per-area density floor for polling places. § 15281 covers posting requirements, not density. CA's Voter's Choice Act (Div 14) does establish ballot-drop-box density (1 per 15,000 registered voters) but that wasn't surfaced for this datapoint; for the predominant polling-place regime, no statutory floor was surfaced.

The section establishes a minimum threshold of 250 electors per polling division, which relates to polling-place density by setting a floor on the number of voters per division. However, this addresses electors per polling division rather than polling places per voters or per geographic area, and it permits exceptions at the Chief Electoral Officer's discretion, making it not a strict binding floor.

“Each polling division shall contain at least 250 electors unless the Chief Electoral Officer agrees otherwise.”

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.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the casting and verification of provisional ballots, including documentation, envelope procedures, and voter verification mechanisms. It does not establish any legal floor or minimum standard for polling-place density, the number of polling places per voter, or geographic distribution of polling locations.

The statute requires that the number of voters per polling place be determined so that voting can proceed without difficulties within the allocated voting period. However, this establishes a procedural principle tied to voting efficiency rather than a concrete legal floor (minimum density threshold) expressed as a specific number of polling places per N voters or per geographic area. It does not mandate minimum polling-place density.

The section is entirely focused on ID verification, not polling-place accessibility standards.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section of the French Electoral Code (art. R84) addresses procedures for handling voting materials and ballots from incarcerated voters in penal institutions on election day. It does not establish or address any legal floor or minimum requirement for polling-place density per voter or per geographic area. The criterion requires a legal floor on polling places, which this section does not mention or regulate.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section (§ 62 BWO) addresses voting in smaller hospitals and care facilities through mobile polling stations. It does not establish any legal minimum requirement for polling-place density, such as a floor of polling places per number of voters or per geographic area. The section merely permits local authorities to allow voting at certain institutions under certain conditions; it contains no quantitative standard for polling-place distribution.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section establishes technical requirements for voting booths, ballot boxes, and polling place conduct (secrecy, lighting, writing implements, ballot security, and campaign restrictions). It does not address or establish any floor or minimum standard regarding the density, number, or geographic distribution of polling places relative to the voter population or area.

The statute establishes a minimum number of precincts per district but does not set a floor based on voter density (voters per precinct) or geographic area (precinct size). The criterion asks for a density or area-based floor, which this section does not provide.

“there shall be a minimum of four precincts in each district”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: The section establishes that polling stations are to be decided by municipal councils and must be publicised in advance, but contains no requirement specifying a minimum number or density of polling places per voters or per geographic area. It does not establish any legal floor or standard for polling-place density.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: The statute requires designation of 'a suitable polling place for each election precinct' but does not establish any legal floor or minimum standard regarding the number of polling places per voter population or per geographic area. The focus is on procedure (designating by the fifth Friday) and facility requirements (accessibility, secret ballot capability) rather than density requirements.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: 10 ILCS 5/16-5 governs ballot printing/distribution; no minimum-density polling-place provision surfaced. Polling-place establishment is largely delegated to local election authorities (§ 11-2 et seq., not surfaced).

The section addresses polling place provision by requiring cities to avoid unnecessary precincts while ensuring voter access, but it establishes a ceiling (not creating too many precincts) rather than a floor (minimum number or density requirement). There is no specific numerical standard, geographic ratio, or minimum density threshold that would satisfy a polling-place density floor.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 101 establishes the procedure for voting and ballot distribution at polling stations, but contains no provisions regarding the density, number, or geographic distribution of polling places. The criterion requires a legal floor on polling-place density per voters or area; this section addresses only how ballots are issued and cast once a voter is at a polling station.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section concerns the election and appointment of precinct committeemen and committeewomen, their eligibility requirements, contact information, and vacancy procedures.

No matching sections in corpus (FTS returned 0 candidates) — concept not codified in this jurisdiction's election statute.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the inspection, preparation, and operation of voting machines at polling places on election day. It does not contain any provisions establishing a legal floor on the number or density of polling places per voter population or geographic area. The criterion requires a legal minimum standard for polling-place availability, which is not addressed in this statute section.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the mechanism for casting votes when a voter is challenged (disputed eligibility), specifically requiring paper ballots instead of voting machines in such cases. It contains no provision establishing a minimum number or density of polling places per population or geographic area, which is what the criterion asks.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses voter intimidation and order maintenance outside polling places, but contains no provisions regarding the density, number, or geographic distribution of polling places relative to voter population or area. It does not establish any legal floor or minimum requirement for polling-place availability.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section describes procedures for counting votes and announcing results at the close of polls, including how ballots are handled, counted, and recorded. It does not address polling-place density, the number of polling places per voters, or geographic distribution of polling locations, which is what criterion 7.3 requires.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the duties of election inspectors regarding pre-poll preparation, ballot verification, and equipment certification. It contains no provisions regarding polling-place density, minimum numbers of polling places per voter population, or geographic distribution requirements for polling locations.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section prescribes the form and content of tally books used to record voting data at polling places in electronic voting systems. It does not address polling-place density, the number of polling places required per voter population, or geographic area coverage requirements. The section is purely about record-keeping procedures.

The section establishes a ceiling on polling-station size (maximum 3000 voters, up to 3300 with mayoral proposal) but does not establish a density floor—that is, a requirement for a minimum number of polling stations per voter population or per geographic area. The minimum of 30 voters per station is a lower bound on station size, not a floor on density provision. A density floor would require something like 'at least one polling station per X voters' or 'at least one per Y square kilometers,' which is absent.

The statute specifies a ratio for voting booths (1 per ~100 registered voters) but does not establish a floor for the number of polling places themselves per voter or geographic area. The criterion asks about polling-place density, not booth density. The statute allows designation of polling places outside precincts when suitable structures don't exist but provides no minimum polling place requirement.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the administrative procedures for the central election committee to remove candidates and party designations from provincial election lists based on eligibility criteria. It does not concern polling-place density, accessibility, or the legal requirement for a minimum number of polling places per voter or geographic area.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the establishment and boundaries of election precincts but does not specify any floor or minimum standard for the number of polling places per voter or per geographic area. It is about precinct definition and boundary procedures, not polling-place density requirements.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 659:73 addresses the content and reporting of election returns, moderator certificates, and post-election documentation. It contains no provisions regarding polling place density, the number of polling places relative to voter population, or geographic distribution requirements for polling locations.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses prohibited conduct and disruptions at polling places on election day, as well as exceptions for simulated voting activities. It does not establish or reference any legal floor (minimum requirement) for polling-place density, i.e., the number of polling places per voter or per geographic area.

The section establishes a floor of at least one polling place per precinct, but this is a precinct-based requirement rather than a floor based on voter density or geographic area. The criterion specifically asks for a legal floor per N voters or per geographic area, neither of which is articulated in this statute. Without knowing precinct size standards, this requirement does not guarantee minimum density based on population or area.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the use of school and public buildings for political party meetings and conventions, not the establishment of polling places or requirements for polling-place density. It does not impose any legal floor or minimum standard for the number of polling places per voters or per geographic area.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses election principles (general, equal, direct elections by secret ballot) but contains no provision regarding polling-place density, geographic distribution of polling places, or any floor requirement for the number of polling places relative to voter population or area.

§ 8-2 codifies vote-receivers at Norwegian foreign-service stations abroad (rights for citizens abroad to vote). § 7-3 codifies vote-receivers on Svalbard and Jan Mayen. § 7-5 codifies in-municipality advance voting. Polling-place provision is codified per municipality but no statutory voters-per-place density floor is specified — left to local discretion.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 3505.181 addresses eligibility and procedures for casting provisional ballots. It contains no language establishing a minimum density of polling places, a minimum number of polling places per voter population, or a minimum number of polling places per geographic area. The section is focused entirely on who may cast provisional ballots and the procedures for doing so, not on polling place location or distribution requirements.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the preparation and printing of sample ballots for elections. It contains no provisions regarding polling-place density, the number of polling places per voter population, or polling-place distribution per geographic area. The criterion requires a legal floor or minimum standard for polling-place availability, which is entirely absent from this statute.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: ORS § 248.007 addresses the organization of major political parties, selection of delegates, notification to the Secretary of State, and precinct committeeperson elections. It contains no provisions regarding polling-place density, the number of polling places per voters, geographic polling-place requirements, or any related standards. This section is entirely outside the scope of the criterion.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the procedural requirements for submitting a referendum question to voters about whether to adopt an electronic voting system. It does not establish any legal floor or minimum standard for polling-place density, nor does it regulate the number of polling places per voter or per geographic area. The criterion concerns polling-place accessibility and distribution, which is outside the scope of this referendum procedure statute.

The section establishes a ceiling (maximum population per polling place) of 3,000 voters and a floor of 500 voters. However, the criterion asks for a 'floor on polling places per N voters'—meaning a minimum density requirement (e.g., at least one polling place per X voters). The text specifies maximum size of polling districts but does not mandate a minimum number of polling places relative to population or geographic area; it only allows exceptions to reduce size below 500 based on local conditions. This addresses voter access through population caps but not through minimum polling place density requirements.

“Stały obwód głosowania powinien obejmować od 500 do 3 000 mieszkańców.”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses criminal penalties for fraud by polling station officials, including falsification of voter records and vote counts. It does not establish any legal floor, requirement, or standard for the density or number of polling places relative to voter population or geographic area.

The statute requires that polling places be 'sufficient' to avoid 'excessive waiting' but does not establish a numerical floor (e.g., minimum polling places per N voters) or a geographic area requirement. The language is qualitative rather than quantitative, making it discretionary rather than a mandatory minimum standard that could be verified objectively.

“The number of polling place units and voting booths must be sufficient to permit the election to run smoothly without excessive waiting of voters”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 64 addresses the establishment and location of voting stations but does not establish any numerical floor or density requirement (e.g., one station per X voters or per Y square kilometers). The section grants the Commission discretion in determining location based on various factors including voter distribution, but imposes no minimum standard for polling-place density.

Art. II-121 / III-176 / IV-251 codify precinct-commission protocols. Art. II-122 / III-177 codify grounds to declare voting in a precinct invalid. Precinct establishment is codified in Art.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 18 RPA 1983 requires councils to designate polling places and keep them under review with a view to giving electors 'reasonable facilities for voting,' but it contains no numerical floor or density requirement (e.g., minimum polling places per X voters or per square mile). The section permits polling places to be omitted entirely if the district's size does not 'materially affect the convenience' of electors, and references only practicability and reasonableness rather than fixed quantitative standards.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 21082 addresses provisional voting procedures and voting information requirements at polling places, but contains no provisions establishing a legal floor or minimum standard for polling-place density, either per number of voters or per geographic area.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the combination of voting precincts and polling-place location relative to combined precincts, but does not establish any legal floor or minimum standard for polling-place density per voter population or geographic area. It merely permits municipalities to combine precincts and specifies where polling places may be located relative to combined boundaries.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: § 2504 requires 'a sufficient number' of voting booths 'as determined by the board of civil authority,' but no statutory floor on polling places per N voters or per geographic area is codified — Vermont provides a polling place per town voting district.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses precinct establishment and polling-place flexibility (allowing polling places within one mile of precinct boundaries when unavailable within the precinct), but it does not establish a legal floor or minimum requirement for polling-place density per number of voters or per geographic area. It permits exceptions to normal requirements but does not mandate minimum ratios.

The statute requires counties to maintain voting centers and explain their determination, but does not establish a specific legal floor—such as a minimum number of voting centers per population or geographic area. It only requires 'reasonable access' without quantifying that standard, making it discretionary rather than a binding minimum requirement.

“The number of voting centers that will be maintained in order to ensure that people with disabilities have reasonable access to accessible voting devices, and a written explanation for how the determination was made”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the procedures for documenting and sealing election results at polling places, including the creation of certificates and handling of ballots and materials. It contains no provisions establishing a legal floor or minimum requirement for polling-place density, either per number of voters or per geographic area.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: The section addresses polling place designation and allows flexible precinct configurations, but it does not establish any floor or minimum standard for polling-place density per voter or per geographic area. The statute permits the entire district or any portion thereof to constitute a single election precinct, which could result in very sparse polling-place coverage without triggering any legal violation.
