Age and residency in constitution

This section explicitly references and incorporates the voter qualifications set forth in Article 8 of the Alabama Constitution of 1901, which contains the minimum age and residency requirements. The statute grounds the eligibility criteria in the constitution rather than establishing them independently in statutory text.

“Any person possessing the qualifications of an elector set out in Article 8 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as modified by federal law, and not laboring under any disqualification listed therein, shall be an elector”

Electoral Code Article 2 codifies the age + citizenship requirement: 'Citizens of the Republic of Armenia having attained the age of 18 as of the day of election shall have the right to elect.' Constitution Article 7 (in v0/7.1 candidates) constitutionally frames the right of suffrage. The combination yields constitutional framing of suffrage with statutory age specification.

Article 3 codifies basic principles of holding elections including age requirement reference. Article 57 codifies presidential candidate age (40+). Article 60 codifies nomination rights. Article 20 codifies voter-list inclusion. Constitution Article 64 (not surfaced) constitutionally sets age 18 for suffrage.

Cal. Const. Art. II § 2(a) sets the constitutional voter-eligibility floor: 'A United States citizen 18 years of age and resident in this State may vote.' Constitutional framing of age + residency + citizenship.

“SEC. 2. (a) A United States citizen 18 years of age and resident in this State may vote.”

The section sets the minimum voting age (18 years) in the constitutional text itself, establishing this requirement at the highest level of law rather than delegating it to statute or regulation. The criterion asks whether age and residency requirements are set in the constitution; this section clearly establishes the age threshold constitutionally and explicitly excludes residency requirements as a condition for voting eligibility.

§ 1 codifies that 'voting rights to the Folketing belong to everyone who has Danish citizenship, has reached 18 years of age, and has permanent residence in the kingdom, unless they are legally incapacitated.' § 2 codifies extension to Danish citizens posted abroad. § 47 codifies in-person voting requirement. § 96 codifies referendum eligibility. Constitutional grounding in Grundloven § 29 (separate instrument).

§ 57 of the Constitution sets the voting age in the constitution itself — citizens who have attained eighteen years of age have the right to vote — and § 156 constitutionally grounds the municipal franchise (age 16, with a permanent-residence requirement).

“Estonian citizens who have attained eighteen years of age have the right to vote.”

§ 2 codifies voting eligibility: 'in parliamentary elections, the presidential election and European Parliament elections every Finnish citizen who turns 18 by election day at the latest has the right to vote.' § 2 also codifies EU-citizen voting at EP elections with a Finnish home municipality, and municipal-election eligibility. The Constitution of Finland § 14 provides constitutional grounding. Age + citizenship + residency codified.

“Eduskuntavaaleissa, presidentinvaalissa ja europarlamenttivaaleissa on äänioikeutettu jokainen Suomen kansalainen, joka viimeistään vaalipäivänä täyttää 18 vuotta.”

§ 98.045 governs eligibility administration; § 97.021 codifies age (18), citizenship, residency framework. Florida Constitution Art VI § 2 fixes constitutional age requirement.

“The supervisor must ensure that any eligible applicant for voter registration is registered to vote”

Constitution Article 24(1) codifies the constitutional voting age: 'Every citizen of Georgia who has attained the age of 18 shall have the right to participate in referendums and elections.' Election Code Article 3(a.a) reinforces. Constitutional framing of suffrage age.

§ 21-2-216 codifies elector qualifications: US citizen, 18+ on or before election day, Georgia resident, plus county/precinct residency requirements. Constitution of Georgia Art. II § 1 (not in corpus) provides constitutional grounding for 18+ age + citizenship requirements.

Illinois Constitution Article III § 1 sets the 18-year, 30-day-resident baseline. 10 ILCS 5/3-6 codifies a 17-year-old primary vote rule (vote in primary if 18 by general election). § 3-1 codifies the statutory voter qualification rule.

“a person who is 17 years old on the date of a caucus”

Article 8 of the Satversme sets the voting age in the constitution — all citizens of Latvia who have attained eighteen years of age on election day are entitled to vote; the 90-day residency rule for municipal elections is set by statute (§ 5 Local Govt).

“who on election day have attained eighteen years”

The Michigan Constitution itself sets the age (21, though superseded by the 26th Amendment to 18) and residency (six months) requirements for voting, satisfying the criterion that these requirements be constitutionally grounded.

“Every citizen of the United States who has attained the age of 21 years, who has resided in this state six months, and who meets the requirements of local residence provided by law, shall be an elector and qualified to vote in any election except as otherwise provided in this constitution.”

§ 201.014 codifies voter eligibility: 18 years or older, US citizen, and 'maintain residence in Minnesota for 20 days immediately preceding the election.' § 201.054 codifies registration methods. § 203B.065 codifies registration-system use. Constitutional grounding in Minn. Const. Art. VII (separate instrument). Comprehensive age + citizenship + residency framework codified.

“an individual who meets the following requirements at the time of an election is eligible to vote. The individual must: (1) be 18 years of age or older; (2) be a citizen of the United States; and (3) maintain residence in Minnesota for 20 days immediately preceding the election.”

The statute explicitly directs that age and residence requirements are prescribed by the Constitution of the State of New Jersey, not by statute alone. Section 19:4-1 anchors voting eligibility to the constitutional requirements rather than creating independent statutory requirements, thereby satisfying the criterion that these core qualifications are constitutionally grounded.

“if he shall be a citizen of the United States and shall meet the age and residence requirements prescribed by the Constitution of this State and the laws of the United States”

§ 5-102 codifies voter qualifications — US citizen, will be 18+ on day of election, and resident of the election district 30 days before. § 5-507 codifies pre-registration at age 16. § 11-102 codifies residency change procedure. Constitutional grounding in NY Constitution Art. II (not in corpus).

§ 16.1-01-04 (not in FTS top-5 for this datapoint) codifies elector qualifications: US citizen, 18+, resident of the precinct at least 30 days. § 16.1-13-35 codifies the new-resident exception for presidential elector voting. § 16.1-13-37 codifies application form. § 16.1-05-02 codifies parallel for election-board members. Age + residency + citizenship eligibility statutorily codified.

§ 2-1 codifies that 'Norwegian citizens who have turned 18 or turn 18 within the election year have voting rights at Storting elections if they are or have been registered as resident in Norway' (Norske statsborgere som har fylt 18 år eller fyller 18 år innen utgangen av valgåret, har stemmerett ved stortingsvalg hvis de er eller har vært folkeregistrert som bosatt i Norge). § 2-2 codifies parallel for county/municipal with non-citizen extension after 3 years residency or Nordic citizens by 30 June of election year. Constitution Section 50 provides constitutional grounding.

“Norske statsborgere som har fylt 18 år eller fyller 18 år innen utgangen av valgåret, har stemmerett ved stortingsvalg”

Ohio Const. Art. V § 1 sets age (18) and residency (state/county/township/ward 'such time as may be provided by law') and 30-day pre-election registration requirement in the constitution.

“Only a citizen of the United States, of the age of eighteen years”

PA Const. Art. VII § 1 codifies the qualifications of electors: U.S. citizenship for one month, 90-day state residence, 60-day election-district residence. Age 21 was constitutionally amended to 18 by Amendment XXVI; constitutional framing of qualifications.

“Every citizen 21 years of age, possessing the following qualifications, shall be entitled to vote”

The constitutional text explicitly sets the minimum age requirement (18 years old by election day) for voting rights in referenda and all major elections. The criterion asks whether minimum age requirements are established in the constitution rather than statute alone, and this passage directly answers that question affirmatively at the constitutional level.

“Obywatel polski ma prawo udziału w referendum oraz prawo wybierania Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej, posłów, senatorów i przedstawicieli do organów samorządu terytorialnego, jeżeli najpóźniej w dniu głosowania kończy 18 lat.”

Article 4 codifies the 18-year-old age requirement and federal citizenship requirement. Constitution Article 32 (not surfaced) constitutionally grounds suffrage. Combined: constitutional + statutory framing.

MP Election Law Article 10 establishes age (18 years), residency (in Republic of Serbia), and capacity as conditions for active and passive electoral right. Constitution Article 37 (4283) reinforces that legal capacity begins at 18.

“Право да бира посланика и да буде биран за посланика има грађанин са пребивалиштем у Републици Србији који је истовремено и југословенски држављанин, који је навршио 18 година живота и пословно је способан (у даљем тексту: бирач).”

The statute explicitly grounds the age requirement in the state constitution (Section 4, Article II), delegating enumeration of the specific age to that constitutional provision rather than setting it in statute alone. Similarly, residency is addressed as a statutory requirement tied to constitutional disabilities, but the age requirement is directly constitutionalized. This satisfies the criterion that the minimum age requirement is set in the constitution.

“meets the age qualification as provided in Section 4, Article II of the Constitution of this State”

1 kap. 4 § codifies EU-citizen voting rights at European Parliament elections. 1 kap. 5 § codifies eligibility. 5 kap. 3 § codifies that 'at European Parliament elections, Union citizens who are not Swedish citizens shall be entered on the electoral roll only if they turn 18 by election day.' Constitutional grounding lies in Regeringsformen (Instrument of Government), chapter 3 — separate instrument. Age + residency + citizenship codified.

Anayasa Article 67 sets the constitutional voting age (18) and the right to vote/be elected/participate in referendums. Reinforced by Law 298 Article 6 and Law 2839 Article 10 (both restate the 18-year-old age). Constitutional framing with statutory specificity.

“Onsekiz yaşını dolduran her Türk vatandaşı seçme ve”

Art. I-7 codifies universal suffrage. Art. I-6 codifies basic electoral rights of citizens of Ukraine (right to vote, right to be elected). Constitution of Ukraine Art. 70 (referenced in Art. I-6) provides constitutional grounding for 18+ age + citizenship + competence requirements.

§ 2101 grounds Title 17 in the constitution: 'this title is intended to carry out the mandate contained in Article 8 of Chapter I of the Constitution of the State of Vermont,' which sets the voter-qualification mandate. § 2121 codifies the eligibility criteria — U.S. citizen, Vermont resident, having taken the voter's oath, and 18 years of age. Voter qualifications are grounded in the state constitution.

KRS 116.055 requires a primary voter to 'possess all the qualifications required of voters in a regular election,' and KRS 116.025 grounds those qualifications in 'Section 145 of the Constitution' of Kentucky (age, citizenship, residency). Voter qualifications are thus grounded in the state constitution, but the constitutional provision itself was not surfaced for this datapoint.

Voter age (18) and citizenship are set in § 3 (EP Law) and § 2 (Seimas Election Law) and constitutionally in Articles 33-34 of the Lithuanian Constitution, which is outside the ingested election-law corpus.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the confidentiality of voter registration information (age, SSN, driver's license number, etc.) and exceptions to that confidentiality. It does not establish or reference the minimum age or residency requirements for voting eligibility, nor does it ground those requirements in the constitution. The section is about data protection, not eligibility thresholds. To satisfy ELIG.1, one would need to identify constitutional text establishing minimum age and residency—not a statute governing confidentiality of registration records.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section (Art. 139) enumerates criminal penalties for electoral violations but does not address voting age or residency requirements. The criterion requires that minimum age and residency requirements be set in the constitution; this penal provision discusses neither eligibility requirements nor constitutional grounding—it only criminalizes interference with voting rights. The section text does not satisfy the criterion because it contains no material relevant to establishing or locating eligibility standards.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the qualifications and appointment of election board workers, not voting eligibility requirements. It contains no information about voter age or residency requirements, which are constitutional matters separate from this procedural statute governing election administration staffing.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses designated bearers and authorized agents for absentee ballot delivery—a procedural mechanism for ballot handling by third parties. It contains no language regarding voter eligibility, minimum voting age, or residency requirements. The criterion asks whether age and residency requirements are set in the constitution rather than statute alone, which is outside the scope of this section's regulatory focus.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: The criterion asks whether age and residency requirements are set in the *constitution* rather than statute. Section 93 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 is statutory law, not constitutional law. Although subsection (1) and (2) clearly establish the minimum age requirement (18 years) and eligibility rules in statutory form, they do not satisfy the criterion because the criterion specifically requires constitutional grounding. The text provides no evidence that these requirements are embedded in the Australian Constitution itself.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section sets the age and citizenship requirements in statute (NRWO § 21), not in the Austrian constitution. The criterion requires constitutional grounding, and this text provides only statutory-level procedural detail.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: The criterion asks whether minimum age and residency requirements are set in the CONSTITUTION. This section is from the Electoral Code (statute), not the constitution. While the statute clearly enumerates age (18 years) and residency requirements (registration in Belgian communes), it does not establish whether these requirements originate in or are grounded by constitutional text. The section satisfies procedural clarity as statutory law, but fails the specific criterion demand that the requirements be constitutional.

Article 143 of the Electoral Code addresses voting procedures and timing at polling stations, not eligibility requirements. The section contains no reference to minimum age, residency requirements, or constitutional provisions. The criterion asks whether age and residency requirements are set in the constitution; this statute section does not address that question and cannot be evaluated against this criterion.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Чл. 242а codifies consequences of non-voting; not constitutional age/residency requirements. Bulgarian Constitution Чл. 42 sets 18+ voter age but is not surfaced in this FTS candidate set.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 6 of the Canada Elections Act is a statutory provision, not a constitutional one. It references 'qualified as an elector' but delegates the actual definition of eligibility (age and residency requirements) to other provisions within the Act itself (primarily sections 2-5, which are also statute, not constitution). The criterion explicitly asks whether requirements are set in the constitution; this section sets them only in statute.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section is a legislative declaration establishing the purpose of high school voter registration procedures. It does not address minimum age or residency requirements for voting, nor does it reference the state constitution. The section merely encourages registration of eligible electors without defining what makes someone eligible. To satisfy the criterion, the statute would need to either set age and residency requirements in constitutional text or explicitly reference them as constitutionally grounded; this section does neither.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 9-19d specifies only the form of an application for voter registration; it does not establish minimum age or residency requirements. Those requirements would be found in the state constitution or other statutory provisions, not in this procedural section. This section is not relevant to the criterion being evaluated.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 86 addresses the procedural duties of polling station committees in recording voting results and creating records of the voting process. It contains no reference to, enumeration of, or procedural specification regarding minimum voting age or residency requirements. The criterion asks whether such requirements are constitutionally grounded; this section deals only with post-voting documentation and does not address eligibility criteria at all.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section establishes age and residency requirements in ordinary statute (Law No. 275/2012), not in the constitution. The criterion specifically asks whether these requirements are set in the CONSTITUTION rather than statute alone. The text provides no evidence that these rules are constitutionally grounded; they appear as statutory law only.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This statute confirms that presidential electors, U.S. Senator, and U.S. Representative voting rights follow the same qualifications as votes for the General Assembly, but it does not itself set minimum age and residency requirements—it merely cross-references or defers to existing qualifications. The criterion requires these requirements to be set in the CONSTITUTION, not statute alone. This section is statutory language that does not independently establish or cite constitutional provisions for age and residency.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: The section describes administrative procedures for establishing special electoral lists and references eligibility conditions located in articles 188–189 of an organic law (loi organique n° 99-209), not the constitution. The section itself does not set or enumerate age and residency requirements in constitutional text; it delegates to an organic statute. Constitutional grounding is not established by this regulatory provision.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: § 48 BWO addresses the municipality's obligation to publicly announce election timing, polling places, and voter information—a procedural announcement requirement. It does not set or reference minimum age and residency requirements for voting eligibility. Those substantive eligibility rules are established elsewhere (in the Bundeswahlgesetz and German constitution), not in this section. This section is about election administration procedure, not eligibility criteria.

No candidate sections returned by FTS.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 43 concerns polling hours on election day (opening at 09:00 and closing at 20:00), not eligibility requirements. It contains no information about minimum age, residency requirements, or their constitutional grounding. The criterion requires constitutional placement of eligibility rules; this section addresses procedural timing only.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section is statutory law (Hawaii Revised Statutes § 11-12), not constitutional law. The criterion asks whether minimum age and residency requirements are set in the constitution rather than statute alone. While this statute enumerates those requirements clearly, it does not satisfy the criterion because it is statute, not constitution. The criterion's binary scoring rule tests constitutional grounding, which this section does not provide.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section sets age and residency requirements in statute (Elections Act § Art. 3), not in the constitution. The criterion requires these requirements to be set in the constitution, which is a higher-order legal instrument. This statute alone does not satisfy that constitutional-grounding requirement.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section sets age and residency requirements in statute (I.C. § 34-624), not in the Idaho Constitution. The criterion specifically asks whether such requirements are set in the constitution rather than statute alone. This statute alone does not satisfy that requirement.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the procedural mechanics of transmitting voter registration applications to county clerks within five days. It does not address, define, or establish minimum age or residency requirements for voting eligibility. The criterion requires constitutional grounding of age and residency rules; this statute section contains no eligibility rules at all, only administrative transmission procedures.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 49.81 addresses the procedural mechanism for casting provisional ballots when voters cannot immediately verify eligibility, but it does not set or reference age and residency requirements themselves. The criterion asks whether those substantive requirements are established in the constitution rather than statute alone. This section is purely procedural—it describes how provisional ballots are handled, documented, and reviewed post-election. The underlying eligibility standards are referenced (sections 48A.8, 49.77, 49.80, 53.19), but this section neither establishes those standards nor discusses their constitutional grounding.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: The criterion asks whether minimum age and residency requirements are set in the CONSTITUTION, not statute. This section is from the Electoral Act 1992 (statute), which establishes these requirements at the statutory level only. The section does not reference constitutional grounding or indicate that these requirements derive from the constitution. To satisfy this criterion, the requirements would need to be established in Ireland's constitutional document (Bunreacht na hÉireann), not merely in electoral legislation.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: K.S.A. 25-1802 is a statute, not a constitution. The criterion requires that age and residency requirements be set in the CONSTITUTION rather than statute alone. This section sets those requirements in statute only; it does not place them in or reference a constitutional provision. The procedural clarity of this statute is high, but it fails the constitutional-grounding criterion.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section (Art. 24) addresses voter registration procedures and list compilation, not the foundational eligibility criteria of minimum age and residency. While Art. 24(3) references registration 'in the place of residence' as a ground for enrolment, it does not establish or enumerate the minimum voting age or residency duration requirements themselves. The criterion asks whether age and residency are SET IN THE CONSTITUTION; this statute section is silent on that constitutional grounding and instead implements procedural rules derived from unstated constitutional provisions.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: The criterion asks whether age and residency requirements are set in the CONSTITUTION rather than statute alone. This section is itself statute (La. R.S. 18:101), and while it sets forth age and residency requirements, those requirements are established here by statute, not constitutional law. The section does reference the Louisiana Constitution once (regarding homestead exemption), but the core age and residency rules originate from this statutory chapter, not from constitutional text. To satisfy this criterion, the requirements would need to be grounded primarily in Louisiana's constitutional document.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: The criterion requires that age and residency requirements be set in the CONSTITUTION, not merely in statute. This section is from an electoral law statute (Loi électorale) dated 2003, which sets these requirements—but does not demonstrate that they are also grounded in Luxembourg's constitution. The procedural-clarity criterion examines whether rules appear in the constitutive legal instrument; statutory placement alone does not satisfy a constitution-level requirement.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 2 establishes that voting is a constitutional right and that electoral registration is mandatory for citizens meeting conditions 'fixées par la présente Loi organique' (fixed by the present organic law). The section explicitly delegates the substantive conditions—including age and residency requirements—to the organic law itself, not to the constitution. The criterion requires these requirements to be set in the constitution; this section confirms they are instead set by statute.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section governs the registration procedure for U.S. citizens residing outside the country, not the foundational eligibility requirements (age and residency) themselves. The criterion asks whether age and residency minimums are set in the constitution; this statute merely implements registration mechanics for an already-qualified subset. The underlying eligibility standards are not addressed in this text.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 26 addresses procedures for cancellation and expungement of voter registrations—notice requirements, cure periods, and appeal mechanisms—but contains no substantive provisions regarding minimum age or residency requirements for voting eligibility. The criterion requires these substantive eligibility rules to be set in the constitution; this section deals only with administrative procedure for removing voters already on the register and does not establish or reference the constitutional basis for age and residency requirements.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 9-106 addresses county funding obligations for voting systems and has no bearing on voter eligibility, age requirements, or residency requirements. The section concerns only the fiscal allocation of costs for equipment and operations, not the constitutional or statutory basis for voting eligibility.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section (M.G.L. c. 56, § 39) regulates political advertisement disclosure requirements and does not address voter eligibility, minimum voting age, or residency requirements for voters. The criterion requires constitutional grounding of age and residency voting qualifications; this statute deals only with paid advertisement authorization and is therefore not applicable to the eligibility criterion.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses procedures for remote and diplomatic voting modalities for Mexican citizens abroad, including electronic voting security measures. It does not contain or reference minimum age or residency requirements for voting eligibility. The criterion asks whether such requirements are set in the constitution; this section is silent on the question entirely and therefore does not satisfy the criterion.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses municipal candidate qualification requirements, not voter eligibility or voting age/residency. It contains no language establishing or referencing constitutional provisions for voter age or residency. The criterion requires constitutional grounding of voting eligibility rules, and this statute deals exclusively with candidacy vetting procedures.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: RSMo § 115.157 governs voter registration database management and information disclosure—it contains no substantive voting eligibility requirements (age, residency) whatsoever, let alone a specification that such requirements are set in the constitution. The criterion asks whether minimum age and residency requirements appear in the state constitution; this section addresses only administrative procedures for storing and releasing voter records.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses candidacy eligibility (right to be elected), not voting eligibility. It sets statutory candidacy age requirements (18 for council, 23 for mayor) but does not address voting age or residency requirements, nor does it establish whether voting requirements are grounded in the constitution. The criterion asks whether voting age and residency are set in the constitution, not in statute, and this section provides only statutory candidacy rules.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: FTS surfaced petitioner-qualification cross-references and definitions; Montana's voter age and 30-day residency requirements are set in statute (§ 13-1-111) and in Article IV of the Montana Constitution, which is outside the ingested Title 13 corpus.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section is part of the Nebraska Revised Statutes (R.R.S. Neb. § 32-110), which is statutory law, not constitutional law. The criterion explicitly requires that age and residency requirements be set in the CONSTITUTION rather than statute alone. While this statute clearly enumerates the age (18, or 17 if turning 18 by the general election) and residency requirements, the criterion is not satisfied because the requirements are grounded in statute rather than in Nebraska's constitutional text.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section is from the Kieswet (Election Act), which is statutory law, not constitutional law. The criterion explicitly requires that age and residency requirements be set in the constitution. While the section clearly enumerates the requirements (Dutch nationality, age 18 on voting day, residency rules), it does so via statute alone, not constitutional grounding.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses polling place establishment for elderly residential developments, not the constitutional status of age and residency requirements for voting eligibility. It contains no discussion of whether voting age or residency thresholds appear in Nevada's constitution versus statute alone. The section is entirely procedural regarding polling place location and is unrelated to the criterion's focus on constitutional grounding of eligibility rules.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: While the section references the constitutional provision for age (Article 11, Part First), the section itself is statute (Ch. 654), not constitution. The criterion asks whether age and residency requirements are SET in the constitution, not merely referenced. This section applies those constitutional age requirements to UOCAVA voters but does not itself constitute a constitutional setting of the requirement. The residency requirements (domicile prior to service/departure) are set by statute here, not constitution.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses qualifications for appointment to a redistricting committee, not voting eligibility requirements. It contains no information about minimum age or residency requirements for voting, which would be the subject matter of the criterion. The criterion asks whether such requirements are set in the constitution; this statute section does not address voting eligibility at all.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: The criterion asks whether age and residency requirements are set in the CONSTITUTION, not statute. This section is part of the North Carolina General Statutes (Chapter 163), which is statutory law. Although the section clearly and statutorily enumerates age (18 years) and residency (30 days in state and precinct), it does not satisfy the criterion because the criterion specifically requires constitutional grounding. The statute alone does not meet this requirement.

The section sets a minimum age of 18 in constitutional text and enumerates broad eligibility (without discrimination by sex, nationality, occupation, residence duration, property, education, party, opinion, or faith). However, the criterion asks whether 'minimum age AND residency requirements' are set in the constitution. While age is clearly specified, residency requirements are conspicuously absent from this enumeration—the text explicitly states citizens are eligible 'regardless of…거주기간' (residence duration), meaning residency duration is NOT a requirement. Thus the section satisfies half the criterion (age) but fails the other half (residency is affirmatively non-required). Since the scoring rule is binary and residency is not set as a requirement at all, this does not fully satisfy the criterion as framed.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses database queries and investigation of multiple voters sharing a residential address—a voter administration and fraud-investigation procedure. It contains no language regarding minimum age requirements, residency requirements for voting, or constitutional grounding of such requirements. The criterion asks whether age and residency requirements are set in the constitution; this section does not engage that topic at all.

The section establishes that voting eligibility is set in the constitution, but the provided text does not actually enumerate the minimum age or residency requirements—it only states the framework that citizens are entitled to vote 'if such citizen' meets unspecified conditions. The actual age and residency thresholds must appear in text following the quoted passage (not provided here). The constitutional grounding exists, but the specific numerical requirements are not visible in this excerpt.

“Every citizen of the United States is entitled to vote in all elections not otherwise provided for by this Constitution if such citizen:”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section concerns the composition and assignment of polling station officials (mesas) and impediments to serving on those bodies, not voter eligibility requirements for voting itself. The criterion asks whether minimum age and residency requirements for voting are set in the constitution. This section does not address voter eligibility; it addresses who may be appointed to staff polling stations. No voting eligibility thresholds are enumerated here.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 17-19-54 addresses bilingual voting material requirements under the Voting Rights Act and imposes procedural obligations on cities, towns, and the state to provide materials in minority languages. It does not set, establish, or reference minimum age or residency requirements for voting eligibility. This section is entirely procedural regarding ballot materials and does not touch constitutional or statutory eligibility criteria.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Art. 11 codifies EU citizen voting requirements; not constitutional age/residency.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section is a definitions section that defines terms used in the Electoral Act. It defines 'voter' to mean a South African citizen who is 18 years old or older whose name appears on the voters' roll, but this definition appears in statute (the Electoral Act), not in the constitution. The criterion requires that minimum age and residency requirements be set in the CONSTITUTION rather than statute alone. This section does not address constitutional provisions; it merely operationalizes statutory definitions.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: § 12-27-1 (campaign-finance definitions) is FTS-surfaced but unrelated to voter qualifications. § 12-3-1 et seq. (Chapter 12-3 Suffrage) codifies qualifications: US citizen, 18+, SD resident. Constitutional grounding lies in SD Constitution Art. VII (separate instrument).

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 195 addresses the procedural constitution of municipal corporations after elections, including credential verification and seating requirements. It does not address voting eligibility criteria such as minimum age or residency requirements. The criterion asks whether such requirements are set in the constitution; this section provides no information about constitutional grounding of eligibility rules.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: § 2-6-201 addresses absentee voting methods and eligibility for mail voting within existing voter categories; it does not establish or reference minimum age or residency requirements for voting itself. The section presumes voters are already 'registered voters' but does not set constitutional-level age or residency standards. Constitutional voting qualifications would appear in the state constitution or foundational voting statutes (like § 2-2-xxx registration rules), not in an absentee procedures statute.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: § 20.006 and the qualified-voter definition in § 11.002 set the voting-age (18) and citizenship and residency requirements by statute. The ingested corpus is the Texas Election Code only; the constitutional grounding of voter qualifications (Tex. Const. Art. VI) is not within the corpus, so constitutional-rather-than-statutory grounding cannot be evidenced.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 15 of the RPA 1983 addresses service declarations and voter registration procedures for persons with service qualifications, but does not establish minimum age or residency requirements for voting. The section assumes age and residency eligibility as prerequisites (e.g., 'by reason of his age he is not yet entitled to vote') but does not set those requirements itself. The criterion asks whether such requirements are in the constitution rather than statute alone; this section is statutory but does not contain the substantive eligibility criteria being evaluated.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: 52 USC § 20901 (HAVA state payments); not voter qualifications.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses voter registration record disclosure status and at-risk voter designation procedures. It does not address minimum age or residency requirements for voting eligibility, which are the subject matter of criterion ELIG.1. The section is entirely procedural regarding registration record classification and notification, not foundational voting eligibility.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 24.2-115 addresses the appointment, qualifications, and terms of election officers, not voter eligibility criteria. It contains no discussion of minimum voting age, residency requirements, or constitutional provisions governing voter eligibility. The criterion asks whether voting age and residency requirements are set in the constitution; this section is entirely inapplicable to that question.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section establishes a preregistration procedure in statute for persons ages 16–17, but it does not set the minimum voting age or residency requirements in the constitution; it operates within a constitutional framework. The criterion asks whether age and residency requirements are constitutionally grounded, not whether a statutory preregistration scheme exists. Washington's constitutional voting-age requirement is not quoted or addressed in this statute section.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: The statute § 3-2-2 sets the age and residency requirements for voting eligibility, but the criterion asks whether these requirements are set in the *constitution* rather than statute alone. This section is statutory law (W. Va. Code ch. 3, art. 2), not constitutional text. The criterion is not satisfied because the requirements appear only in statute, not in West Virginia's constitution.

§ 12.13 references 'elector qualifications and residence requirements' (criminal penalty for false voting) — but the substantive age + residency criteria live in Wis. Const. Art. III § 1 (not FTS-surfaced) and Wis. Stat. § 6.02 (Ch. 6, not ingested).

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section sets age and residency requirements in statute (§ 22-3-102), not in Wyoming's constitution. The criterion requires these requirements to be grounded in the constitution. The statute references constitutional residency standards (W.S. 22-1-102(a)(xxx)) but does not itself establish these requirements at the constitutional level. Procedurally, the statute provides clear enumeration of eligibility criteria, but the criterion asks specifically whether requirements are constitutional, not statutory.
