| Alaskaus-ak | 1/1100.0% | The statute codifies a defined appeal/review procedure for rejected questioned ballots (which include ID-related rejections). The director must provide a summary of rejection reasons within specified statutory timeframes, and voters have access to a free system to check ballot status and rejection reasons. This satisfies the procedural clarity requirement: the appeal path is statutory, enumerated, and includes notification deadlines. “The director shall prepare and mail to each questioned voter whose questioned ballot was rejected under this section a summary of the reason that the challenge to the questioned ballot was upheld and the questioned ballot was rejected. The director shall mail the materials described in (h) of this section to the voter not later than 10 days after completion of the review of ballots by the state review board for a primary election or a special primary election under AS 15.40.140 ; 60 days after certification of the results of a general or special election, other than a special primary election described in (1) of this subsection.” | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-15 |

| Brazilbr | 1/1100.0% | This statutory provision codifies a clear appeal procedure for voting challenges, including those related to identification or ballot validity issues. It establishes that appeals (recursos) against voting irregularities must be raised before the polling table (mesa receptora) during the voting act itself, with documented objections (impugnação) against alleged nullities. This creates a defined, statutorily-grounded review pathway accessible at the point of rejection. | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-02 |

| Canadaca | 1/1100.0% | The statute explicitly provides an appeal procedure for an elector who disputes the identity/residence requirement: the elector may appeal to the returning officer, who shall consult with the election officer and issue a decision with binding effect (directing the elector be allowed to vote if entitled). The appeal path and decision-maker are statutorily enumerated, not left to administrative discretion. “If an elector refuses to make a solemn declaration on the ground that he or she is not required to do so under this Act, the elector may appeal to the returning officer. If, after consultation with the election officer in whose opinion the elector is required to make the solemn declaration, the returning officer decides that the elector is not required to make it, and if the elector is entitled to vote in the polling division, the returning officer shall direct that he or she be allowed to do so.” | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-05 |

| Irelandie | 1/1100.0% | The section provides a clear statutory appeal procedure: when a registration authority refuses an application (including when eligibility or application compliance requirements are not met), the applicant may appeal to the county registrar in accordance with a specified Rule. The appeal right is enumerated in statute with a defined appellate body and referenced procedural rule, satisfying the criterion for a codified appeal mechanism. “Where an application under this section is refused by the registration authority under subsection (4), the applicant may appeal the decision to the county registrar in accordance with Rule 39 of Part VIII of the Second Schedule.” | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-03 |
| Marylandus-md | 1/1100.0% | Md. Election Law § 9-306(d)(2)(ii) provides a statutorily codified appeal procedure for rejected absentee ballot applications. When a local board's staff rejects an application, the applicant is explicitly granted the right to appeal to the board members, who must decide the appeal expeditiously. This establishes a clear, enumerated appeal path in statute for applicants whose absentee ballot requests are rejected. “If the determination has been delegated, the applicant may appeal the rejection to the members of the local board, who shall decide the appeal as expeditiously as practicable.” | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-15 |

The procedure is set in statute, enumerated, and provides a clear path for judicial review. “Any person who is denied registration has the right to appeal to a circuit court within the county or to the district court within five (5) days of the date of the notification.

However, the section contains no appeal or review procedure for ballots that are rejected after the cure period expires. The statute states ballots 'shall be rejected' but provides no mechanism for a voter to challenge that rejection or appeal to any body for reconsideration—only a cure opportunity before rejection becomes final. “Signatures that cannot be verified pursuant to section 16-550.01 or cured pursuant to this section shall be rejected.” | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-04 |
| Arkansasus-ar | 0/10.0% | The statute provides a cure mechanism (notification and contact attempt) and a secondary review path (county board of election commissioners determination), but this addresses absentee ballot application rejection generally, not specifically ID rejection or provisional ballot challenges. The section does not enumerate what happens after the board's determination, whether the voter may seek judicial review, or what procedural rights attach to the board's decision. The appeal procedure is thus partially codified but incomplete. | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-08 |
| Australiaau | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 298C addresses the Electoral Commission's determination of election funding claims, not voter identification or rejection procedures. This section establishes timelines and criteria for accepting/refusing campaign funding claims—a wholly separate procedural domain from voter ID verification and rejection appeal mechanisms. No statutory codification of an appeal procedure for rejected ID or provisional ballots appears in this text. | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-08 |
| Austriaat | 0/10.0% | The statute provides a statutory fallback procedure for voters lacking prescribed ID (recognition by a majority of poll board members), which is a cure mechanism. However, the section explicitly references § 71 Abs. 1 for an 'objection' (Einspruch) process but does not define the appeal or review procedure itself within this section or quote the operative language of § 71—leaving the actual appeal path ambiguous and incompletely codified in the provided text. The cure procedure is clear; the appeal procedure is not. “Besitzt der Wähler eine Urkunde oder Bescheinigung der in Abs. 2 bezeichneten Art nicht, so ist er dennoch zur Abstimmung zuzulassen, wenn er der Mehrheit der Mitglieder der Wahlbehörde persönlich bekannt ist und kein Einspruch gemäß § 71 Abs. 1 erhoben wird.” | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-16 |

Best signal: Section 11 of the PRC Electoral Law addresses the Electoral Committee's duties regarding voter registration, eligibility review, complaint procedures for voter list disputes, and general election administration. However, it does not establish any procedure for rejection of identification documents or appeal of ID-based ballot rejection. The section delegates voter qualification verification and complaint resolution (clause 2) to the Electoral Committee but does not specify statutory grounds for ID rejection, acceptable ID forms, cure procedures, or appeal paths for rejected identification. The criterion requires codified statutory procedure for ID rejection appeals; this section provides administrative framework only, not the specific procedural safeguards needed. | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-01 |

However, the section does not codify an appeal or review procedure for a rejected application—it requires notification of rejection but does not specify how an applicant may challenge or cure the rejection. The criterion requires both rejection notice and a defined appeal path; this section provides only the former. “If the registrar determines that the applicant has not properly completed the application or is not legally qualified to register, the notice shall indicate that the application has been rejected and shall state any reason for rejection.” | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-15 |

Best signal: Section 27 addresses appeals of voter registration list inclusion/exclusion, not ID rejection or provisional ballot procedures. The criterion specifically concerns appeal processes for rejected identification or provisional ballots due to ID issues. This section does not address identification verification, ID rejection, or provisional ballot cure procedures—it only covers voter list challenges before the election authority (Valgbestyrelsen) and an appeal to an election board (Valgnævnet). Since the statute text contains no procedure for appealing an ID rejection, the criterion is not satisfied. | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-06 |
| Hawaiius-hi | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 11-1 is a definitions section that enumerates terms used throughout Hawaii's election code. It does not address rejection procedures, appeal mechanisms, or any process for challenging an ID rejection or provisional ballot rejection. While the section defines 'provisional ballot' and references various voting procedures, it contains no statutory procedure for appealing or curing a rejection. A definitions section is not the appropriate vehicle for procedural rules. | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-15 |

However, the statute does not establish a defined appeal or review path for the voter to contest the rejection decision; notification alone does not constitute an appealable procedure.

The procedure is skeletal, lacking the procedural specificity needed for the dual-scholar test to confirm navigability. “Void, provisional and objected to advance voting ballots shall be reviewed by the board of county canvassers, and the board shall finally determine the acceptance or rejection of each void, provisional or objected to ballot.” | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-06 |

Best signal: This section governs the tabulation and counting of absentee by mail and early voting ballots, including procedures for access to counting locations, security, and observer rights. It does not address voter identification requirements, rejected ballots, provisional ballot procedures, or any appeal mechanism for ballot rejection.

The statute addresses registration rejection, not ID verification rejection at polling. For the narrow ID.5 criterion, this section is not on point. “Any person whose application to be registered as a voter or for the correction of his designation or other particulars appearing in the Register or for the transfer of his name to another address or division is rejected by the Commission shall have the right to appeal to a Revising Officer not later than twenty-one days from the day when he is officially informed of the decision of the Commission.” | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-16 |

Best signal: Section 95 establishes general deadlines and procedures for lodging appeals during electoral periods (3 calendar days, with some variations), but it does not address or codify any specific appeal procedure for rejected voter identification or rejected provisional ballots due to ID issues. The section is about appeal timeframes and administrative jurisdiction, not about ID verification, rejection, cure procedures, or ID-specific appeal mechanisms. To satisfy ID.5, the statute would need to explicitly establish a procedure allowing voters whose ID was rejected to challenge that rejection, obtain a cure opportunity, or appeal to a specific body—none of which appears in this text. | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-09 |

The statute specifies what the counting board must determine and when ballots shall be accepted or rejected, but does not establish a cure process, notice requirement, appeal right, or review mechanism for rejected voters. | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-05 |
| Netherlandsnl | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article J 25 establishes the statutory procedure for voter identification and rejection at the polling place: voters without valid ID are simply not admitted to voting (§2, §4, §6). However, the statute contains no codified appeal or review procedure for voters rejected on identification grounds. The text describes what happens upon rejection (denial of access) but provides no mechanism, timeline, or tribunal for challenging that rejection. The procedural clarity criterion requires not just enumeration of rejection grounds but a defined cure or appeal pathway; this section lacks that second component entirely. | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-08 |

| Oregonus-or | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section contains only definitional provisions for terms used throughout ORS Chapter 254. It does not address identification requirements, rejection procedures, or appeal mechanisms for rejected IDs or provisional ballots. The criterion requires a statutorily codified appeal procedure for rejected identification, which is not present in this definitional section. | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-05-31 |
| Polandpl | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 243 addresses procedural dismissal of electoral protests before the Supreme Court (rejecting protests filed by unauthorized persons or those failing procedural requirements). It contains no statutory procedure for appealing ID rejections or provisional ballot rejections due to identification issues. The section regulates appellate review of electoral disputes generally, not voter identification appeals specifically. | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-05-31 |
| Portugalpt | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 114.º addresses appeals for procedural irregularities during voting and tabulation (reclamation/protest procedures), but does not address rejection of voter identification or the appeal procedure for voters rejected due to inadequate ID. The statute does not enumerate what forms of ID are acceptable, does not establish a cure procedure for rejected ID, and does not create a specific appeal pathway for ID-based rejection. This section concerns post-voting disputes about voting irregularities, not pre-voting or day-of ID validation and rejection. | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-16 |
| Rhode Islandus-ri | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section governs the mechanics of voting at the polling place—providing ID, marking ballots, handling overvotes and marking errors—but contains no appeal or review procedure for voters whose identification is rejected or who are directed to vote provisionally due to ID issues. The statute describes what happens when a voter cannot be found on the list (referral to the clerk for verification), but does not establish a statutory cure procedure, appeal path, or post-election review mechanism for rejected voters. The procedural-clarity criterion requires an enumerated appeal or review path in statute, which is absent here. | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-15 |

| South Africaza | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 48–50 of the Electoral Act establish procedures for objecting to irregularities in ballot sorting and vote counting, with appeals to the Commission. However, these provisions address ballot disputes and counting accuracy, not voter identification rejection or provisional ballot procedures due to ID issues. The criterion specifically requires a codified appeal procedure for rejected ID or ID-related provisional ballot rejection. This section contains no reference to identification requirements, ID rejection, or the cure/appeal mechanism for voters whose ballots are rejected on ID grounds. The statutory procedure for ID appeal is not present in this extract. | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-08 |

| Spaines | 0/10.0% | The statute codifies a dispute resolution mechanism at the polling place (majority decision by the polling board after documentary review and witness testimony), providing some procedural clarity when ID identity is questioned. However, the statute does not establish a post-election appeal or review path for a rejected voter; it addresses only the in-the-moment polling-station decision and a subsequent referral to courts for criminal liability of imposters. A complete appeal procedure for rejected ballots is not enumerated in this section. “Cuando la Mesa, a pesar de la exhibición de alguno de los documentos previstos en el apartado 1, tenga duda, por si o a consecuencia de la reclamación que en el acto haga públicamente un interventor, apoderado u otro elector, sobre la identidad del individuo que se presenta a votar, la Mesa a la vista de los documentos acreditativos y del testimonio que puedan presentar los electores presentes, decide por mayoría.” | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-16 |

| Utahus-ut | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: UCA § 20A-4-304 addresses canvassers' declarations of results and reporting requirements but does not establish any appeal procedure for rejected identification or rejected provisional ballots due to ID issues. The statute focuses on the administrative canvassing process and vote tabulation; it does not provide statutory language governing how voters can appeal ID rejections or provisional ballot rejections related to identification. | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-02 |
| Virginiaus-va | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 24.2-706 addresses the general registrar's duty upon receipt of an absentee ballot application and the materials to be sent, including that first-time federal voters must submit ID or it becomes a provisional ballot under § 24.2-653.01. However, the statute does not codify an appeal procedure for voters whose ID is rejected or whose provisional ballots are rejected due to ID defects. The section explicitly defers to § 24.2-653.01 for handling of provisional ballots but does not itself establish a cure or appeal path. The criterion requires statutory codification of an appeal procedure; administrative deferral to another section without explicit appeal language in either section does not satisfy the procedural-clarity requirement. | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-15 |
| Washingtonus-wa | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses campaign finance reporting and public inspection of political committee accounts. It contains no provisions related to voter identification, rejected IDs, provisional ballots, or any appeal procedure for election administration at the voting stage. The criterion requires statutory codification of an appeal procedure for rejected voter ID or provisional ballots; this section does not address that topic. | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-05-26 |
| West Virginiaus-wv | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section prescribes technical requirements for electronic voting systems themselves (security, accuracy, accessibility, paper audit trails, etc.), not procedures for voter identification, rejection of ballots due to ID issues, or appeals of such rejections. The criterion asks whether an appeal procedure for rejected ID is codified in statute; this section contains no such procedure or even any reference to identification requirements or ballot rejection based on ID deficiency. | § view source claude-haiku-4-5 2026-06-14 |
| Wisconsinus-wi | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: § 7.52 absentee canvass; full ID-rejection appeal procedure lives in § 5.06 (compliance review) and § 6.79 (Ch. 6). | § view source claude-opus-4-7 2026-05-18 |
