Statutory ballot information pamphlet

Alaska Stat. § 15.58.020 explicitly mandates publication of a general election pamphlet with enumerated content requirements including candidate photographs and statements, judicial officer information, sample ballots, and comprehensive ballot-proposition materials (full text, titles, summaries, cost statements). The statute specifies what must be included (candidate statements, judicial information, proposition texts and analyses, voting procedure information), thereby codifying both the requirement to publish and the content that must appear. The section also addresses different election types (primary, special, special primary) with tailored requirements. This satisfies the criterion's requirement for statutory mandate with content and distribution defined.

“Each general election pamphlet must contain photographs and campaign statements submitted by eligible candidates for elective office in the region; information and recommendations filed under AS 15.58.050 on judicial officers subject to a retention election in the region; a map of the house district or districts of the region; sample ballots for house districts of the region; an absentee ballot application; for each ballot proposition submitted to the voters by initiative or referendum petition or by the legislature, the full text of the proposition specifying constitutional or statutory provisions proposed to be affected; the ballot title and the summary of the proposition prepared by the director or by the lieutenant governor; a statement of the costs to the state of implementing the law proposed in an initiative, or of voter approval or rejection of the act that is the subject of a referendum; a neutral summary of the proposition prepared by the Legislative Affairs Agency; statements submitted that advocate voter approval or rejection of the proposition not to exceed 500 words”

Cal. Elec. Code § 19321 cross-references the 'county voter information guide for the election' as the canonical document election officials must align with for ballot labels. § 19323 requires delivery of 'two county voter information guides' to each polling place. § 18301 criminalizes duplication of unauthorized simulated guides — confirming the voter-information-guide is a statutorily required publication (governed in detail by Div 9, not ingested).

Connecticut Statute § 9-4a establishes a mandatory statutory requirement for the Secretary of the State to prepare and publish a voter guide by October 1 in election years. The statute explicitly enumerates detailed content requirements including candidate information (names, party affiliation, contact information), ballot-question information (full text and explanatory text of constitutional amendments), office descriptions, polling dates/hours, and voting procedures. Distribution is defined as publication on the Internet. This satisfies all elements of the criterion: (a) notification rules and timing are codified (October 1 deadline), (b) ballot-information content requirements are comprehensively enumerated in subsection (b), and (c) the framework establishes a clear procedural structure for voter communication regarding elections.

§ 20 codifies that 'as soon as the voter list is prepared, the municipal council sends out valgkort (voter cards) to voters listed on the voter list.' § 21 codifies Ministry pre-election announcement of voting day/time on official website at least 10 days before election. § 47 codifies voter-card surrender at polling place. § 96 codifies referendum eligibility. § 95 codifies referendum announcement. Comprehensive voter-information regime codified.

§ 21 codifies the notification card (ilmoituskortti): the Population Register Centre prepares, for every person entered in the voter register, a card stating the voter's name and voting district, the address on the 51st day before election day, in which elections and constituency/municipality the recipient may vote, the election day and the advance-voting period, the contact details of the register office and municipal central election committee, the data source, and 'instructions on using the card and the voting procedure.' Comprehensive statutory voter-information instrument codified.

§ 106.1436 + § 101.20 (4888) codify the voter-guide regime. § 101.20 specifically mandates two sample ballots at each polling place — statutory ballot-information pamphlet.

“As used in this section, the term “voter guide” means direct mail that is either an electioneering communication or a political advertisement sent for the purpose of advocating for or endorsing particular issues or candidates”

Election Code Article 147 codifies ballot specifications (sample-ballot equivalents): 'Two types of ballots shall be produced for the elections of local self-government representative bodies Sakrebulos' — with content + format requirements. Article 63 (in v0 cands) codifies ballot-paper printing with CEC-established samples. Sample-ballot/voter-information equivalent statutorily codified.

§ 21-2-379.8 codifies public exhibition of voting system and sample ballot. § 21-2-400 codifies superintendent's duty to obtain cards of instruction. § 21-2-375 codifies equipment delivery to polling places. § 21-2-376 codifies demonstration of equipment for voters. Statutory voter-information framework codified.

Hawaii Revised Statutes § 11-122 establishes a statutory requirement for a digital voter information guide (ballot information pamphlet equivalent) with clearly enumerated content requirements in subsection (b). The statute mandates specific ballot information content: candidate statements (photographs and statements under 150 words), explanations of state constitutional amendments drafted by the attorney general, explanations of county charter amendments and initiatives drafted by county counsel, and voter logistics information. Distribution is defined: the guide must be posted on the elections website in accessible format, translated into Olelo Hawaii, and provided in printed form to public libraries. The statute also requires voters be notified of the guide's availability. This comprehensively satisfies the criterion's requirement for statutory codification of a ballot information publication with defined content and distribution.

Lithuania mandates pre-election publication of the candidate lists and election numbers in the Valstybės žinios (Official Gazette) at least 30 days before the elections (§ 44, § 45) with defined content; the Central Electoral Commission additionally publishes voter information online.

“With not less than 30 days prior to the elections, the Central Electoral Committee shall publish in the Valstybės žinios”

§ 204D.16 codifies sample general-election ballots — posting and publication. § 206.62 codifies sample ballots. § 204D.165 codifies sample ballots to schools. § 211B.066 codifies distribution of absentee-ballot applications and sample ballots. § 204B.295 codifies translated voting instructions + sample ballots. Comprehensive voter-information regime codified.

Montana codifies a statutory voter information pamphlet — § 13-27-401 defines its content (ballot title, full text, arguments for and against, rebuttals) and § 13-27-410 its printing and distribution (mailed to every active registered voter at least 30 days before the election, with copies at every precinct); it covers statewide ballot issues rather than candidate biographies.

“The county official responsible for voter registration in each county shall mail one copy of the voter information pamphlet to each registered voter in the county who is on the active voter list”

§ 7-118 codifies facsimile and sample ballots — board of elections prepares sample ballots and facsimile ballots posted at polling places. § 8-104 codifies polling-place posting requirements. § 4-134 codifies ballot-supply preparation and delivery. Statutory voter-information regime codified.

N.C. Gen. Stat. § 163-278.69 establishes a statutory requirement to publish a Judicial Voter Guide (voter pamphlet analog). The statute codifies: (1) publication mandate ('The State Board shall publish'); (2) specified content requirements (functions of appellate courts, election laws, candidate information including place of residence, education, occupation, employer, bar admission date, legal/judicial experience, and candidate statement limited to 250 words); (3) distribution method and timing requirements (mailing to all residences or other effective means, distributed 7-28 days before one-stop voting for both primary and general elections). The statute also establishes content controls (Board may reject obscene, profane, or defamatory language with three-day resubmission opportunity) and includes a disclaimer requirement. This satisfies the dual requirement of statutory ballot-information content enumeration and defined distribution framework.

§ 16.1-13-05 codifies that 'notice of all general elections must be published by the county auditor in the official county newspaper at the same time as, and as a part of, the publication of the sample ballot preceding the election.' Sample ballot published once each week for 2 consecutive weeks. § 16.1-11-21 codifies parallel for primary elections. § 16.1-13-12 codifies special-election notice. Comprehensive voter-information regime codified.

“Notice of all general elections must be published by the county auditor in the official county newspaper at the same time as, and as a part of, the publication of the sample ballot preceding the election.”

§ 2-10 codifies 'information to voters about voting rights' (Informasjon til velgerne om stemmerett) — the Ministry / election authorities are responsible for informing voters of their voting rights. § 11-11 / § 12-3 / § 13-3 codify post-election information to elected representatives. § 9-5 codifies electronic voter-roll polling-place procedures. Statutory voter-information regime codified.

Art. 71(2) codifies that the Official Monitor publishes brochures with updated electoral regulations in international circulation languages, plus other informational materials from the Permanent Electoral Authority. Voter-information pamphlet framework with multilingual scope.

“Regia Autonomă "Monitorul Oficial" asigură editarea şi tipărirea de broşuri”

§ 12-16-15 codifies posting of sample ballots. § 12-16-17 codifies number of official and sample ballots provided to precincts with reserve supply retention. § 12-4-4.10 codifies Secretary of State provision of voter-registration and absentee-voting information. § 12-18-3 codifies electioneering restrictions. § 12-4-9 codifies master-registration-file public inspection. Comprehensive voter-information regime codified.

Voter-information regime through röstkort codified.

Law 298 Article 44 codifies the 'seçmen bilgi kağıdı' (voter information slip): 'Seçmen kütüğünde kayıtlı her seçmen için, seçmene hangi seçim bölgesinde, kaç numaralı sandıkta oy vereceğini, seçmen sıra numarası ve diğer bilgileri bildirmek amacıyla bir seçmen bilgi kağıdı hazırlanır' — every registered voter receives an individual info slip telling them their election district, ballot-box number, and voter sequence number.

Art. III-162 codifies CEC information posters of parties (printed at state budget expense, distributed to all precincts). Art. III-163 codifies information brochures. Art. IV-233 / IV-234 codify parallel for local elections. Art. I-45 codifies precinct list compilation including information distribution. Comprehensive statutory voter-information regime codified.

This section establishes a statutory requirement for publishing voter information through an electronic website. The statute explicitly requires that the website include 'all information currently provided in the Utah voter information pamphlet' and mandates specific ballot-information content requirements enumerated in subsection (3) and (4), including: candidate names, qualifications, biographical information, ballot proposition text with markup, fiscal impact, and supporting/opposing arguments. The content requirements are clearly defined in statute, with submission deadlines codified in subsection (4)(a) (45 days before primary, 60 days before general election) and a one-business-day submission deadline to the lieutenant governor. This satisfies the criterion's requirement that content and distribution be defined in statute.

§ 2522 codifies sample ballots: as soon as ballots are received, and not later than 20 days before a primary or general election (10 days for a municipal election), the town clerk must post sample ballots in at least two public places and in or near the clerk's office. § 2523 codifies posting the sample ballots and the warning/notice at the polling place on election day, and § 2666 references official voter information cards. A statutory voter-information regime codified.

This section codifies a statutory requirement for county auditors to print and distribute a local voters' pamphlet before primary, general, and special elections. The statute explicitly mandates content requirements—the pamphlet must provide information on all measures and candidates appearing on ballots. The statute also references format compliance with other provisions of RCW ch. 29A.32, indicating that additional content and distribution specifications are enumerated elsewhere in the chapter. This directly satisfies the criterion's requirement that candidate and ballot-question information be published in a voter pamphlet with content and distribution defined in statute.

“Before any primary or general election, or any special election held under RCW 29A.04.321 or 29A.04.330, each county auditor shall print and distribute a local voters' pamphlet. The pamphlet shall provide information on all measures and candidates appearing on ballots within that county.”

Wis. Stat. § 7.40 codifies sample-ballot provisions. § 5.66 codifies ballot-number requirements. § 5.51 codifies general ballot specs (typeface, paper). Wisconsin's voter-information-pamphlet equivalent (sample ballots posted at polling places + mailed to absentee voters) is statutorily codified.

§ 17-6-81 establishes a statutory requirement to publish ballot-measure information (ballot statements) with defined content requirements (text, summary, placement, plain language, tax impact) and specified timing (60 days prior to vote) on the Secretary of State website. However, the criterion asks for a 'voter pamphlet' covering both 'candidate and ballot-question information.' This statute addresses only statewide ballot measures, not candidate information or candidate filings. The mechanism (online posting) differs from traditional 'pamphlets' but satisfies the functional analog requirement. The section demonstrates statutory codification of ballot-information content requirements and distribution method, but is limited to ballot measures rather than comprehensive candidate-and-measure coverage that would fully satisfy the criterion as stated.

This section establishes a statutory requirement to mail sample ballots to households (A.R.S. § 16-245(D)), which provides ballot information distribution. However, the section addresses only sample ballots for presidential preference elections and does not establish a comprehensive voter pamphlet requirement with defined content requirements for candidate information, ballot question information, or other standard pamphlet materials. The statute specifies sample ballot mailing (distribution mechanism) but does not enumerate content requirements beyond ballot form and instruction specifications. This satisfies the 'distribution defined' element partially but does not fully satisfy the 'candidate and ballot-question information' content specification or the broader 'voter pamphlet' concept required by the criterion.

“The officer in charge of elections shall mail one sample ballot of each party represented on the presidential preference election ballot to each household that contains a registered voter of that political party unless that registered voter is on the active early voting list established pursuant to section 16-544.”

This section establishes statutory requirements for publication of candidate nominations, constitutional amendments, and ballot measures with specified timing (10-20 days before election). It mandates sample ballot distribution and Secretary of State publication on an internet site organized by precinct-part. However, the criterion specifically asks for a 'voter pamphlet (or analog) with candidate and ballot-question information' with defined content and distribution. While Arkansas requires sample ballots with content specifications (timing, marking, precinct organization) and public accessibility, the statute does not explicitly establish comprehensive voter-guide-style content requirements beyond what appears on the ballot itself. The sample ballot requirement partially satisfies the analog requirement, but there is no enumeration of additional candidate information or detailed ballot-question explanatory content as would typically appear in a dedicated voter pamphlet.

Article 127 establishes statutory requirements for candidate list publication and display with specific formatting requirements (large black characters), inclusion of voter instructions (modèle I), and timing provisions (from 50 or 22 days before the election depending on circumstances). However, the criterion asks about a 'voter pamphlet' with 'candidate and ballot-question information' with 'content and distribution defined.' This provision addresses candidate list display and voter instructions but does not constitute a comprehensive pamphlet system with enumerated content requirements beyond the ballot form and instructions. The distribution rule is defined (posted in all municipalities of the electoral district), but this appears more limited in scope than a traditional ballot information pamphlet covering multiple aspects of the ballot. The requirement is codified and specific, yet falls short of the full pamphlet framework the criterion contemplates.

This section establishes a statutory requirement for minority-language sample ballots with defined content (matching English-language ballots), distribution timing (general elections and odd-year statewide elections), and accessibility channels (county clerk website, voter service centers, polling centers). However, it addresses only sample ballots in minority languages triggered by specific demographic thresholds, not a comprehensive voter pamphlet requirement for all voters as typically conceived under INFO.1. The statute does enumerate content requirements (all same content as English ballot, instructions for every ballot style) and distribution rules (mail ballot packets, website, in-person locations), but the scope is limited to language-specific sample ballots rather than a general statutory voter information pamphlet. The criterion asks about a voter pamphlet with candidate and ballot-question information generally defined; this section partially satisfies by establishing content and distribution requirements for a specific subset (minority-language ballots) but does not establish a comprehensive pamphlet framework.

The consolidated list of candidates (§ 33) is Estonia's codified candidate-information artifact — defined content, prepared by the State Electoral Office and posted at every polling place — but Estonia publishes no full deliberative voter pamphlet with ballot-question explanations.

“The registration number and name of each candidate are set out in the consolidated list of candidates in an electoral district.”

Ν. 4648/2019 Άρθρο 21 codifies voter information for Greeks abroad by reference to ΠΔ 26/2012 Άρθρο 130. Voter-information framework for diaspora exists; no generalized statutory voter pamphlet for the domestic electorate.

“Κατά το πρώτο έτος ισχύος του παρόντος, για την ενη- μέρωση των εκλογέων που διαμένουν στο εξωτερικό”

The statute requires the National Electoral Commission to organize an 'extensive programme' to provide information on referendum matters and to publicize the law the President has refused to approve no later than one week prior to a referendum. However, this section addresses referendum-specific information provision rather than general ballot information pamphlets or candidate information. The statute mandates information provision and requires it be made accessible on the Commission's website, but it does not explicitly enumerate the content requirements for a comprehensive ballot information pamphlet (such as candidate statements, ballot measure analyses, or voter guides) or specify distribution methods beyond website publication. The requirement is procedurally defined in terms of timing ('no later than one week') and medium ('secure manner' and website), but lacks enumeration of what ballot information content must be included in any pamphlet-like document.

This statute clearly satisfies the ballot-information component for initiatives and referenda: it mandates a voters' pamphlet with enumerated content (measure text, fiscal impact statements, funding sources, arguments and rebuttals), specifies distribution (mailing to every household and availability through county clerks), and includes technical specifications. However, the section addresses ONLY initiative and referendum measures, not candidate information. The criterion asks whether there is statutory requirement for a pamphlet with 'candidate and ballot-question information.' This statute covers ballot-question (initiative/referendum) information comprehensively but omits candidate information entirely. Under the dual-scholar test, one interpreter would view this as partial satisfaction (rigorous ballot-question framework present) while another would note the explicit exclusion of candidate information from this pamphlet requirement, making it incomplete relative to the criterion's dual requirement.

K.S.A. 25-2706(c) requires county election officers to furnish and publish specific voter materials including printed instructions to voters and a sample ballot. However, the statute does not explicitly require a comprehensive voter pamphlet containing candidate information and ballot-question explanations. While a sample ballot is required, the statute does not enumerate content requirements regarding candidate statements, ballot measure descriptions, or official arguments for/against ballot questions—which are typical components of statutory voter pamphlets. The statute requires the Secretary of State to 'specify the form and contents of instructions to voters' but does not mandate those contents to include candidate or ballot-measure information. The requirement is partially satisfied because sample ballots are mandated with specified distribution (posting at polling places and website publication), but lacks the broader informational content typical of statutory voter pamphlets.

“The county election officer shall furnish and publish on the website of the county election office: (A) Printed instructions to voters; (B) a list of voters' rights and responsibilities; (C) a sample ballot; (D) notification of the date of the election; and (E) the polling place hours.”

§ 16 mandates display of the lists of nominated candidates, the pre-election programmes and per-candidate information at every polling station before election day; it is a polling-place display with defined content, rather than a mailed deliberative voter pamphlet with ballot-question explanations.

“make available the information on each candidate referred to in this Law”

Article 206 establishes a statutory requirement to publish candidate information through public posting (affichage) at commune voting locations and town halls. The statute codifies specific content requirements: name, given names, profession, domicile, and nationality must be included in large characters in the form of the electoral ballot. However, this section addresses posting/notification of candidates rather than a comprehensive voter pamphlet or ballot information guide. The statute requires publication of candidate lists but does not establish a formal 'pamphlet' format or define broader ballot-question information requirements beyond candidate details. The provision satisfies the procedural clarity requirement for candidate-filing information accessibility through statutory-defined public posting, but falls short of establishing a full ballot information pamphlet framework with comprehensive content enumeration and distribution procedures.

“L'affiche reproduit en gros caractères, en la forme du bulletin électoral tel qu'il est déterminé ci-après, le nom des candidats ainsi que leurs prénoms, profession, domicile et nationalité.”

Section 48 establishes a statutory requirement to prepare and distribute specimen ballots and voting instruction cards at polling places. However, the statute does not establish a comprehensive voter pamphlet requirement with detailed content specifications for candidate information and ballot questions as contemplated by INFO.1. The section requires 'cards containing full instructions to voters' and 'abstracts of the laws imposing penalties' but does not enumerate specific content requirements for candidate biographical information, measure summaries, or arguments. The requirement is limited to specimen ballots (facsimiles of actual ballots) and instructional materials rather than a dedicated information pamphlet distributed to all voters. The statute codifies notification rules and timing ('for every such election') and specifies the form of ballot information (specimen ballots, instruction cards) but does not establish the comprehensive ballot-information content requirements and distribution scope that would fully satisfy the criterion.

“They shall also provide for each polling place ten or more specimen ballots which shall be facsimiles of the ballots provided for voting, but printed without the endorsements and on colored paper.”

Article 525 establishes a statutory requirement for an information distribution mechanism (micrositio on the official Institute website) with enumerated content requirements for candidate information (personal profile, photograph, public contact means, academic and professional history, judicial philosophy and improvement proposals). Distribution timing is also specified—information must be available from campaign period start through election day. However, this section addresses a digital-only platform rather than a traditional voter pamphlet or its statutory analog. The criterion asks whether there is a requirement for a 'voter pamphlet (or analog)' with defined content and distribution. While the micrositio functions as an information vehicle with content requirements codified, the statute does not explicitly mandate distribution of a physical or comprehensive pamphlet document containing all candidate information in consolidated form. The requirement is partial: content enumeration and timing are clear, but the distribution mechanism is platform-specific (electronic) rather than a comprehensive pamphlet-style document traditionally contemplated by election codes. Dual-scholar test: one scholar would credit this as meeting the spirit of INFO.1 (codified content requirements, timing, accessibility); another would distinguish between a mandated pamphlet format and a website micrositio, viewing it as falling short of the full criterion.

This section requires publication of a 'sample ballot' in legal notices for runoff/tie-vote elections, which partially satisfies the ballot information requirement. However, the statute does not establish a comprehensive ballot information pamphlet with defined content requirements for candidate information, ballot-question descriptions, or other voter education materials. The section mandates only minimal ballot information (date, time, officer/agency name, and sample ballot format) for a specific election type (runoffs), not a systematic, jurisdiction-wide voter pamphlet. The requirement lacks enumeration of specific content elements that would characterize a full statutory ballot-information framework. Under the dual-scholar test, one scholar would note the sample ballot requirement as a procedural communication mechanism; another would argue this falls short of the statutory ballot-information pamphlet standard contemplated by the criterion, as it addresses only runoff elections and lacks detailed content specifications.

“The notice shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the election authority's jurisdiction and shall include the date and time of the election, the name of the officer or agency calling the election and a sample ballot.”

Article M 6 mandates distribution of a candidate overview organized by list (§1.b), specifying its content (candidate names/list ordering), timing (at least 12 weeks before election or as soon as possible, §3), and public accessibility (electronic publication on accessible platform, §4). However, the statute does not enumerate detailed CONTENT REQUIREMENTS for what information must appear about candidates or their qualifications beyond organizational structure by list. The requirement is procedurally codified for notification and distribution, but lacks the enumerated ballot-information content specification that INFO.1 typically requires (such as candidate statements, party affiliations, positions, contact information, etc.). The statute delegates detailed model specifications to ministerial regulation (§5), meaning content requirements are not fully codified in the statute itself but rather deferred to sub-statutory instruments.

“een overzicht van de kandidaten, geordend per lijst”

NRS § 293C.530 establishes statutory requirements for sample ballot distribution and content, including specific formatting (12-point type minimum), inclusion of measure descriptions and financial effects with arguments for and against (by reference to NRS 295.205/295.217), and polling place information. However, the criterion asks for a 'voter pamphlet (or analog) with candidate and ballot-question information.' This statute addresses sample ballots distributed to voters and references candidate information (incumbent designation per NRS 293.2565) and ballot measures, but does not establish comprehensive candidate biographical information, statement content requirements, or a unified 'pamphlet' format comparable to traditional voter guides. The statute creates a distribution framework for sample ballots with some content mandates, but does not fully enumerate candidate-filing information requirements or establish a complete ballot-information pamphlet analogous to what the criterion contemplates. It is a partial statutory framework for ballot information distribution rather than a full voter pamphlet system.

The statute codifies specific notification rules and timing for mailing sample ballots (Wednesday preceding election by noon) and establishes multilingual triggers (Spanish-language ballots when 10% or more of registered voters have Spanish as primary language). However, the provision addresses sample ballot distribution procedures rather than a comprehensive voter information pamphlet with enumerated content requirements for candidates and ballot questions. The statute mandates what gets distributed (sample ballots) and when, but does not explicitly enumerate specific content requirements for candidate information or ballot question explanations that would constitute a full voter pamphlet. The section satisfies part (a) [notification rules and timing codified] and part (c) [multilingual triggers codified], but does not satisfy part (b) [ballot-information content requirements enumerated] or establish an analog to a voter information pamphlet as typically understood (a comprehensive guide with detailed candidate and measure information).

“The board shall post the appropriate sample ballots in the polling place in its district.”

ORS § 251.067 establishes a framework for including candidate information and ballot measures in voter pamphlets (state and county), but it addresses conditional inclusion and allocation mechanisms rather than establishing the baseline statutory requirement itself. The section presupposes the existence of pamphlets by referencing ORS 251.065, 251.305-251.435, and 251.285, but does not independently codify the requirement to publish them, their content requirements, or distribution rules. To fully satisfy INFO.1, one would need to examine those cross-referenced statutes to determine whether they contain the foundational requirement for pamphlet publication with enumerated content and distribution specifications. This section alone specifies when candidates and measures appear in which pamphlet (state vs. county), but not why pamphlets must exist or what core content must be included.

Article 435 establishes a statutory requirement for gminna komisja wyborcza (municipal electoral commission) to produce and distribute a notice ('obwieszczenie') containing registered candidate lists, committee abbreviations, and candidate information from filings. Distribution is defined: the notice must be posted in the gmina (municipality) no later than 20 days before elections, with one copy sent to the electoral commissioner. However, this falls short of a full 'voter pamphlet' as typically understood. The statute defines content (candidate numbers, committee names, candidate data, and statements under specific legislation) and distribution method/timing, but does not appear to include ballot-question information or comprehensive voter guidance materials. The requirement is procedurally codified but limited in scope compared to comprehensive voter pamphlets in other jurisdictions. The mechanism exists and is statutorily defined, but covers only candidate information notice rather than a broader ballot information framework.

This statute establishes a statutory requirement for sample ballots prepared by the secretary of state and mandates distribution to the state board of elections and voting places. The requirement specifies content scope (explaining voting manner, voting for candidates individually, voting on questions) and distribution logistics (furnishing to board of elections and at least 3 per voting place). However, the criterion asks for a ballot information PAMPHLET with candidate and ballot-question information with defined content and distribution. This section addresses sample ballots focused on explaining HOW to vote, not necessarily a comprehensive pamphlet containing substantive candidate biographical information or detailed ballot-question explanations—which is what a voter information pamphlet typically contains. The statute codifies notification rules and distribution timing/logistics but does not enumerate detailed ballot-information content requirements beyond procedural guidance on voting mechanics. This satisfies part of the criterion (statutory requirement + distribution defined) but may not satisfy the full intent regarding comprehensive voter information pamphlets with candidate details.

“The secretary of state shall prepare a sample ballot that shall be a copy of the computer ballot to be used. The sample ballot shall clearly and briefly explain and illustrate the manner of casting a vote, of voting for candidates individually, and of voting upon questions.”

The section establishes statutory requirements for distributing voter information materials (informative sheet) and specifying content (candidate information, ballot guides, downloadable ballots, and election process information). However, this addresses materials for overseas voters only (Artículo 75: voting by persons residing abroad), not a general statutory ballot information pamphlet for all voters. The requirement is codified with defined distribution timing (between days 18-25 post-convocation for the informative sheet, and specific dates for official ballots), and content is enumerated (candidate lists, downloadable ballots, voting instructions, URLs). The statute requires public websites with candidate information and downloadable ballots with security measures. This partially satisfies the criterion because: (1) it establishes statutory content requirements for ballot information; (2) it mandates specific distribution mechanisms and timelines; but (3) it applies narrowly to overseas voters rather than comprehensively to all voters, and (4) it references web-based distribution rather than a traditional pamphlet model. A comprehensive voter pamphlet for all voters in the jurisdiction is not addressed in this section.

“Una hoja informativa sobre cómo ejercer el derecho de voto y la dirección de la página web oficial en la que se expondrán las candidaturas definitivas, y en la que estarán disponibles los juegos de papeletas descargables, con todas las candidaturas concurrentes, así como cualquier otra información sobre los procesos electorales en curso”

This statute codifies requirements for sample ballot publication with specified timing (5 days before early voting or election) and content requirements (names of candidates, offices, and statements of ballot questions). However, it falls short of a comprehensive voter pamphlet requirement. The statute mandates sample ballots via newspaper publication or mail/website posting, but does not require the detailed candidate information (biography, positions, endorsements) or comprehensive ballot-question explanations typical of voter pamphlets. The requirement is for 'sample ballots' showing how to vote rather than informational pamphlets about candidates and measures. Distribution is defined (newspaper, mail to registered voters, or website), and content minimums are specified, but the scope is narrower than a full voter pamphlet framework.

§ 52.008 codifies the sample ballot — the voter-information analog — requiring the authority procuring election supplies to print a supply of sample ballots (yellow paper, 'SAMPLE BALLOT' in large letters) and distribute them for use in the election; § 62.012 requires posting a sample ballot in the polling place where waiting voters can read it, and § 124.004 authorizes the secretary of state to prescribe sample-ballot standards. Texas codifies the sample ballot but not a comprehensive voter pamphlet with candidate statements and ballot-question analysis.

This section codifies requirements for sample ballots and facsimile diagrams to be provided at polling places and optionally mailed to voters. However, it does not establish a statutory requirement for a comprehensive voter pamphlet or ballot information booklet containing candidate and ballot-question information. The statute requires only facsimile ballots and sample ballots showing candidate names and office positions. Distribution of mailed facsimiles is discretionary ('may, with the consent'). The section addresses ballot format clarity but does not mandate the production or distribution of explanatory candidate information, statements, or ballot measure descriptions that would constitute a full 'voter pamphlet.' The requirement is procedurally defined but incomplete relative to the criterion's requirement for 'candidate and ballot-question information' within a pamphlet framework.

Section 52(1) authorizes the Federal Ministry of the Interior to issue regulations (Bundeswahlordnung) covering candidate filing information (point 9) and ballot content/form (point 10), including 'Bekanntgabe der Wahlvorschläge' (publication of election proposals). However, this section merely DELEGATES authority to create such regulations rather than codifying statutory requirements itself. The criterion requires statutory definition of content and distribution of a voter pamphlet or analog. While the section creates a framework requiring such regulations to be issued, it does not specify: (a) whether a comprehensive voter information pamphlet is required; (b) what specific candidate information must be included; (c) distribution mechanisms and timing; or (d) multilingual requirements. The section satisfies the procedural clarity that rules must be codified, but the actual content requirements would exist in the implementing Bundeswahlordnung, not in this statutory language itself. Under the EVCI dual-scholar test, this represents partial satisfaction—the statute creates a mandate for procedural clarity but does not itself enumerate the specific ballot-information content requirements.

“9. Einreichung, Inhalt und Form der Wahlvorschläge sowie der dazugehörigen Unterlagen, über ihre Prüfung, die Beseitigung von Mängeln, ihre Zulassung, die Beschwerde gegen Entscheidungen des Kreiswahlausschusses und des Landeswahlausschusses sowie die Bekanntgabe der Wahlvorschläge, 10. Form und Inhalt des Stimmzettels und über den Stimmzettelumschlag”

This section establishes that sample ballots must be prepared and made available for publication, and that ballot instructions in French must be provided. However, it does not establish a statutory requirement for a comprehensive voter pamphlet (or analog) with defined content requirements for candidate information and ballot-question information. The statute requires sample ballots to be printed 'substantially the same as a regular ballot' but does not enumerate what candidate or ballot-measure content must appear, nor does it mandate distribution of a pamphlet. It addresses sample ballot distribution to newspapers and clerks, but this is narrower than the typical voter information pamphlet requirement. The French-language instruction provision shows some multilingual accommodation but does not establish a codified trigger or scope for multilingual notices beyond ballot instructions.

This section requires county election boards to make sample ballots available to the public, which partially addresses the voter information requirement. However, it does NOT establish: (1) a dedicated voter pamphlet or analog publication, (2) specific content requirements for ballot information beyond what is on the sample ballot itself, (3) distribution mechanisms or timing, (4) candidate information requirements, or (5) ballot-question explanation requirements. The statute merely requires availability of sample ballots without specifying their content, format, or how they must be disseminated. This falls short of a comprehensive statutory requirement for a voter information pamphlet with enumerated content requirements as contemplated by the criterion. The language 'other data as he deems necessary' is discretionary rather than prescriptive.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the granting of powers to party poll monitors (fiscales) and the designation procedures for fiscal generals, including their credentials, presentation timing, and notification to the electoral authority. It contains no provisions regarding voter pamphlets, candidate information distribution, ballot question materials, or voter communication frameworks. The section is entirely procedural regarding party representation at polling places and does not establish statutory requirements for publishing or distributing ballot information to voters.

Article 70 defines the 'established sample ballot paper' that CEC publishes. Article 69 defines validity criteria. While CEC publishes sample ballots, no statutorily-required voter pamphlet/guide analogous to a US-style sample-ballot mailer was FTS-surfaced.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 273A concerns the procedural mechanics of computerised scrutiny of Senate election votes—specifically how ballot papers are processed, how ties are resolved, and what access scrutineers have during the counting process. It addresses vote-counting procedures and observer rights, not voter communication, ballot information pamphlets, or candidate information distribution to voters. There is no statutory requirement established here for publishing candidate information, ballot question content, or distribution of voter pamphlets. The section is entirely procedural/administrative regarding vote tabulation, not voter notification or ballot information communication.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: § 79 of the NRWO addresses procedural rules for casting preference votes (Vorzugsstimmen) on the ballot itself—specifically how voters mark their choices for candidates on federal, state, and regional party lists. The section details valid marking methods and validity conditions for preference votes. It does not establish requirements for publishing a voter pamphlet, ballot-information pamphlet, or any analog document containing candidate and ballot-question information. The section is purely mechanical/procedural regarding ballot marking, not about information distribution or pamphlet content requirements. A statutory ballot-information pamphlet criterion requires codification of pamphlet publication, content enumeration, and distribution rules, none of which appear in this section.

No candidate sections returned by FTS.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section of the Brazilian Electoral Code (Art. 193) addresses internal ballot-counting procedures at polling stations—specifically the mixing and counting of ballots when the number of ballots matches the number of voters, and the preparation of summary records. It contains no provisions related to voter pamphlets, candidate information dissemination, ballot-question information, or any communication framework for providing voters with election information prior to voting. The section is purely procedural regarding post-voting ballot handling and does not establish requirements for publishing candidate or ballot-question materials to voters.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Чл. 36 codifies entry-in-list-by-current-address procedure; not a voter pamphlet.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 187 requires the Chief Electoral Officer to establish a list of candidates and their political affiliations, but does not establish a statutory requirement for a voter pamphlet or analog publication. The provision addresses candidate list compilation, not the creation or distribution of ballot information materials to voters. There is no reference to content requirements for a voter-facing pamphlet, distribution methods, or timing. The criterion requires both the pamphlet requirement AND defined content and distribution—this section satisfies neither element.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 23 of the PRC Electoral Law addresses multilingual documentation requirements for autonomous regions, autonomous prefectures, and autonomous counties. The provision mandates that election documents, voter rolls, voter certificates, candidate nomination lists, representative certificates of election, and election committee seals must be published simultaneously in local ethnic minority languages. While this section codifies multilingual notice triggers (satisfying criterion MULTI.1), it does NOT establish a statutory requirement for a voter pamphlet or ballot information pamphlet with enumerated content requirements and distribution procedures. The section focuses on language accessibility of existing election documents, not on the creation of a comprehensive voter information pamphlet containing candidate information and ballot-question material. There is no specification of pamphlet content, format, or distribution timeline in this provision.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: The section provided (Article 10 of Croatia's Law on Financing Political Activities and Electoral Campaign) concerns the definition and documentation of membership fees and voluntary contributions (donations) to political parties, candidates, and electoral entities. It addresses record-keeping requirements, receipt issuance, and the Minister of Finance's authority to prescribe regulations on documentation methods. This section does not address statutory requirements for publishing a voter pamphlet or any ballot information material containing candidate information or ballot-question details. It contains no provisions related to ballot information distribution, candidate biographical content, or voter communication through official pamphlets. The criterion requires codification of ballot-information content requirements and distribution rules, which are entirely absent from this section.

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

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Del. Code tit. 15, § 4910 requires the State Election Commissioner to design uniform posters for polling places and mandates sample ballots. However, this section does NOT establish a statutory requirement for a voter pamphlet or analogous document containing candidate and ballot-question information with defined content and distribution rules. The statute addresses polling-place instruction posters (which cover voting procedures, rights, and fraud prohibitions) and sample ballots (which are diagrams of the voting machine layout). Neither of these instruments constitutes a voter information pamphlet with candidate biographies, ballot summaries, or question explanations. The statute does not enumerate content requirements for candidate information or ballot-question descriptions. Therefore, while the section satisfies procedural notification timing and ballot-format rules, it does not satisfy the specific criterion requiring a statutory ballot-information pamphlet with candidate and ballot-question content.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Code électoral art. R155 addresses technical specifications for candidate circulars and ballot papers (weight, format, color, typography). It does not establish a statutory requirement for the state to publish a voter pamphlet or analog containing candidate and ballot-question information with defined content requirements and distribution procedures. The article regulates circulation of materials by candidates themselves and ballot paper specifications, not a government-administered voter information pamphlet. Under the dual-scholar test, neither a specialist in French electoral law nor a general election administration expert would identify this as satisfying the criterion, which requires statutory definition of pamphlet content and distribution requirements by the jurisdiction.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 49 of the Greenland election law (Inatsisartutlov om valg til Inatsisartut, Kap. 10) addresses the validity requirements for ballots cast on election day and advance ballots. It specifies conditions under which ballots are deemed invalid (blank ballots, illegible intent, improper manufacture, distinguishing marks, etc.) and requires the polling official to record invalid ballots with brief justification. Section 49(4) grants the government (Naalakkersuisut) authority to establish detailed rules for ballot validity assessment. This section contains no requirements, codification, or reference to: (1) publication of a voter pamphlet or ballot information document; (2) candidate information distribution; (3) ballot-question information content; or (4) distribution mechanisms to voters. The statute addresses ballot validity and counting procedures, not voter communication or ballot information pamphlets. The criterion requires statutory definition of a pamphlet or analog with candidate and ballot-question information content and distribution rules—none of which appear in this section.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: 10 ILCS 5/18A-218.20 covers provisional-ballot counting procedures; not a voter pamphlet.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses sample ballot requirements—specifically format, diagram arrangement, and mark-prevention measures. It does not establish a statutory requirement for a voter pamphlet or analog publication containing candidate information and ballot-question details. Sample ballots showing ballot structure are distinct from comprehensive voter information pamphlets that enumerate candidate and measure content. The statute mandates sample ballot availability but does not define content requirements for candidate information, ballot measure descriptions, or distribution mechanisms that would constitute a voter information pamphlet.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses sample ballot posting and display requirements for optical scan voting systems but does not establish a statutory requirement for a voter pamphlet or ballot information booklet with candidate and ballot-question information. The section mandates that sample ballots be posted and made available for public inspection at polling places, but this is distinct from a comprehensive voter information pamphlet with defined content requirements and distribution procedures. The criterion requires a statutory framework defining content and distribution of candidate/ballot-question information in pamphlet form, which this section does not provide.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 170 of the Electoral Act 1992 amends the Electoral Act 1963 regarding polling card delivery timing and procedures. The section addresses the mechanics of delivering polling cards to electors (not later than the third day before polling day, transmission by post without prepayment). It does not establish or define requirements for a statutory voter pamphlet or ballot information pamphlet, nor does it enumerate content requirements for candidate or ballot-question information distribution. The section is procedurally technical in nature, dealing with postal delivery mechanics rather than voter information communication frameworks. There is no codified requirement for publication of candidate information or ballot-question materials with defined content and distribution methods within this section.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: KRS 121.190 references 'sample ballots' only as a category of political advertising subject to a paid-for disclaimer, and KRS 117.001 is the definitions section. No statutory voter pamphlet or voter-guide requirement with defined content and distribution was surfaced.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: La. R.S. 18:192 addresses voter registration list maintenance and canvassing procedures, including annual address verification and updates to voter information cards. The section does not contain any provisions regarding a statutory requirement to publish a voter pamphlet or ballot information guide. It does not enumerate content requirements for candidate or ballot-question information distribution. The section is entirely procedural regarding voter roll management, not ballot information communication. There is no mention of ballot information pamphlets, candidate information compilations, or voter guides.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 171 addresses the definition and treatment of null ballots during the counting process. It specifies which ballots are considered void (multiple choices, unclear voter choice, torn ballots, etc.) and procedural requirements for contesting and annexing them to the electoral report. This provision contains no requirement for publishing a voter pamphlet, defining candidate information content, specifying ballot-question information, or establishing distribution mechanisms. The criterion requires statutory codification of pamphlet publication, content enumeration, and distribution—procedural clarity elements entirely absent from this nullification rule.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 99 of Cap. 354 (General Elections Act) addresses post-election ballot-counting procedures—specifically the mechanical process of opening ballot boxes, counting ballot papers, and tallying votes using either manual or electronic systems. It contains no provisions regarding pre-election voter communication, ballot information pamphlets, candidate information, ballot-question content, or distribution of voter materials. The section is procedurally focused on vote tabulation, not on the statutory framework for publishing voter-facing election information materials. Therefore, it does not satisfy the criterion requiring statutory codification of a voter pamphlet with candidate and ballot-question information and defined content and distribution requirements.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Maryland Election Law § 13-245 addresses campaign finance restrictions regarding 'walk-around services' and political endorsements. It contains no provisions related to voter pamphlets, ballot information publication, candidate information dissemination, or ballot-question materials. The section is exclusively concerned with financial regulations for campaign activities and reporting requirements. This section does not establish any statutory requirement to publish voter information materials, define content requirements for such materials, or specify distribution methods. The criterion requires codification of a voter pamphlet or analog with defined content and distribution rules—none of which appear in this section.

No candidate sections returned by FTS.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This statute addresses sample/instruction ballots at polling places on election day—specifically ballots showing the voting machine layout. It does not establish a statutory requirement for a voter pamphlet or analog publication containing candidate and ballot-question information with defined content and distribution requirements. Sample ballots used at polling places for instruction purposes are distinct from comprehensive voter information pamphlets. The statute mandates the provision and form of sample ballots but does not codify pamphlet content requirements (e.g., candidate statements, ballot measure summaries) or distribution procedures (e.g., mailing to all voters, public availability timelines). Dual scholars would conclude this section addresses procedural aspects of polling-place materials, not a voter information pamphlet framework.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section (Electoral Code art. 83) addresses the procedural documentation of voting results—specifically the minutes and reports that electoral bureaus must prepare after polls close. It details what information must be recorded in these minutes (voter counts, ballot paper counts, valid/invalid votes, etc.) and the procedures for signing, displaying, and transmitting these records. This relates to post-election reporting and administrative documentation, not voter education materials. The criterion requires a statutory requirement for a voter pamphlet or analog publication containing candidate and ballot-question information distributed to voters before elections. This section contains no reference to voter pamphlets, candidate information publications, ballot guides, or any pre-election voter communication materials. It is solely concerned with internal electoral bureau documentation and result certification procedures.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This statute addresses sample ballot distribution timing and format requirements, but does not establish a voter pamphlet or analog with enumerated content requirements for candidate and ballot-question information. The section specifies when and how sample ballots must be distributed (3-35 days before election, limited to 10% of prior votes, on colored paper if needed) and requires sample ballots match the official ballot's size and form. However, it does not define what information must be included in these ballots beyond structural conformity, does not establish a comprehensive ballot-information pamphlet framework with candidate biographical information or ballot measure explanations, and does not enumerate content requirements for such materials. The criterion requires both content and distribution to be defined; while distribution timing is codified here, content specifications are absent.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the physical posting of sample ballots at polling places, not the publication of a comprehensive voter pamphlet with candidate and ballot-question information. The statute requires posting of sample ballots but does not establish: (1) a statutory requirement to publish a voter pamphlet or analog document, (2) content requirements for candidate information, (3) content requirements for ballot-question information, or (4) distribution mechanisms beyond posting at polling locations. While sample ballots may contain some information, this section does not codify a pamphlet-based voter information framework with defined content and distribution requirements as contemplated by the criterion.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: NMSA 1978, § 1-4-5.6 addresses criminal penalties for unauthorized use of voter data and special voter lists. It contains no requirement to publish a voter pamphlet, defines no ballot-information content requirements, and does not establish any framework for candidate or ballot-question information distribution. The section is exclusively penal in nature and relates to data protection violations, not to voter communication of election information. It is unrelated to the statutory requirement for a ballot information pamphlet with defined content and distribution.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: ORC 3505.331 governs post-election audits of results; unrelated to a voter-information pamphlet.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: § 1109-A specifies ballot label format for ballot-card systems; not a voter pamphlet.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 88.º addresses definitional and procedural rules for classifying blank and invalid votes during ballot counting. It specifies technical requirements for ballot marking validity and vote nullification standards. This section contains no provision establishing or requiring a statutory voter pamphlet, candidate information publication, ballot-question information distribution, or any ballot-information content requirements. The criterion requires statutory codification of voter-information-pamphlet publication with enumerated content and distribution rules. The present section is limited to vote validity classification and does not address voter communication, voter education materials, candidate information dissemination, or ballot-information content frameworks.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 30 of the Electoral Act addresses candidate nomination objections and dispute procedures — timing, grounds for objection, notification, and appeal mechanisms. It does not address voter pamphlets, ballot information content requirements, candidate information publication, or voter communication materials. The section is concerned with internal administrative procedures for vetting candidate nominations, not with statutory requirements to publish voter-facing ballot information or candidate pamphlets. The criterion requires a statutory framework defining content and distribution of voter pamphlet materials; this section satisfies neither dimension.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section § 7-13-1740 addresses sample or instruction ballots for voting machines only, requiring their provision and public inspection at polling places on election day. This is a narrowly-scoped procedural requirement for precinct-level materials at voting locations. The criterion requires a broader statutory framework for a voter pamphlet (or analog) with defined content requirements for candidate and ballot-question information and distribution specifications. The statute does not establish content requirements for candidate information, ballot-question information, or a systematic statewide distribution mechanism. A diagram of the voting machine interface does not constitute a comprehensive candidate and ballot-question information pamphlet.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: 52 USC § 30101 contains FECA definitions; not voter pamphlet.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: § 24.2-641 addresses sample ballot posting at polling places on election day but does not establish a statutory requirement for a voter pamphlet or analog publication containing candidate and ballot-question information with defined content and distribution requirements. The section mandates physical display of sample ballots at precincts but does not enumerate content requirements, distribution methods beyond polling-place posting, or create a comprehensive voter information guide. A voter pamphlet typically requires statutory content specifications (candidate statements, ballot measure text, arguments pro/con, etc.) and defined distribution channels (mail, online, etc.). This provision establishes only minimal procedural clarity regarding sample ballot posting logistics, not the existence of a statutory ballot information pamphlet framework.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This statute addresses only the funding mechanism for voter pamphlets and notices of proposed amendments—specifically that publication expenses are paid from the state general fund. It does not establish a statutory requirement to publish a voter pamphlet, does not define what content must be included, does not enumerate ballot-information content requirements, and does not specify distribution procedures. The section presupposes the existence of voter pamphlets but provides no procedural clarity regarding their creation, content, or distribution. To satisfy INFO.1, the statute would need to affirmatively require publication of a voter pamphlet and enumerate specific content and distribution requirements.
