No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 73 of Ley 26.215 establishes the National Electoral Chamber's functions, including auditing and regulatory powers, but contains no statutory codification of whistleblower protections for staff reporting irregularities. The section addresses institutional structure, audit oversight, and funding mechanisms, but is silent on safeguards for employees who expose misconduct or violations within the electoral administration.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 110 of the Belgian Electoral Code addresses unauthorized access to polling locations and penalties for trespass or obstruction during voting operations. It contains no statutory framework for whistleblower protection, confidentiality safeguards for staff reporting irregularities, non-retaliation provisions, or any accountability mechanism designed to protect election workers who disclose misconduct. The section is purely procedural and penal in nature, unrelated to the institutional protection of staff who report violations.

This section criminally prohibits retaliation against persons who report or expose election violations, which addresses whistleblower protection substantively. However, it does not establish affirmative statutory protections for whistleblowers (immunity, anti-retaliation procedures, confidentiality safeguards, or remedies), nor does it create institutional accountability mechanisms to enforce whistleblower safety. It is purely penal in nature.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 94 addresses publication of election results and cost allocation for election implementation. It contains no codified whistleblower protection language, no mechanisms for staff to report irregularities without retaliation, and no statutory safeguards for protected disclosures.

It does not establish any statutory mechanism for whistleblower protection, reporting of irregularities, non-retaliation safeguards, or procedural protections for staff who raise concerns about election administration misconduct. The criterion requires codified whistleblower protections for election-related staff; this section addresses campaign finance administration only.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 474 Bis addresses procedural requirements for electoral violation complaints and sanctions but contains no statutory provision establishing whistleblower protections for staff reporting irregularities. The section regulates the complaint process, admissibility standards, and hearing procedures; it does not create legal safeguards, immunity, or anti-retaliation measures for internal staff disclosures. Multiple provisions carry inconstitutionality notices, further undermining reliance on this text as a stable legal foundation.

Moldovamd0/10.0%

The section establishes a duty to report irregularities to prosecutorial authorities, which addresses accountability mechanisms. However, it imposes a mandatory reporting obligation rather than protecting whistleblowers who report voluntarily or in good faith. True whistleblower protection requires statutory shields against retaliation, anti-intimidation safeguards, confidentiality provisions, or safe channels for reporting—none of which are codified here. This section creates a reporting duty but not the institutional protections that define whistleblower safeguards.

About this datapoint

Each score is one of: strong, partial, gap, or no codified provision. The evidence quote is a byte-exact substring of the cited statute section at scoring time. If the statute is amended, the old score is preserved with is_current=0 and a new score is inserted on top — never overwritten.
