DatapointScoreRationale & evidenceSource
COI.1Conflict-of-interest disclosureAre commissioners and senior election staff required by statute to disclose financial interests (vendor relationships, party positions, candidate connections) publicly?0/10.0%

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses candidate nomination procedures and ballot name display rules within Greenland's election law. It contains no provisions regarding conflict-of-interest disclosure for commissioners or senior election staff. The statute does not establish any requirement for public disclosure of financial interests, vendor relationships, party positions, or other conflicts by election administrators.

COI.2Judicial review of administrative decisionsIs the right to seek judicial review of election-authority decisions codified, with standing, timeline, and venue defined?0.5/150.0%

The section establishes a statutory right to challenge election validity with defined timeline (7 days post-election) and standing (voters and candidates), and creates an administrative review mechanism (valgbestyrelsen forwards to Valgnævnet). However, it does not specify judicial review—the process appears to end with Valgnævnet's administrative decision. The criterion requires codification of access to courts, with venue and appellate pathway defined; this section addresses only internal administrative appeal, not judicial recourse.

COMM.1Statutory grounding of commissionIs the election commission's existence and core mandate set in the constitution (rather than statute alone, regulation, or executive order)?1/250.0%

The section establishes that Valgnævnet (Election Board) leads the election and assigns it specific statutory duties (maintaining election records, publishing election dates, managing candidate registration). However, the text does not state whether Valgnævnet's existence and core mandate originate in the constitution or statute alone. The presence of detailed statutory powers suggests statutory grounding, but constitutional status cannot be determined from this excerpt alone.

COMM.2Multi-branch appointmentAre commission members appointed by multiple branches (legislature, judiciary, executive) such that no single branch unilaterally controls composition?0/10.0%

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: The section vests appointment power solely in Naalakkersuisut (the executive government). Composition includes the department head (executive), legal chief (executive), a municipal representative (indirect executive control), the bishop (religious authority, not a separate governmental branch), and a rector (institutional representative, not a separate branch). No legislative or judicial appointment mechanism is present, and the executive branch dominates composition unilaterally.

COMM.3Term protectionAre commissioner terms defined in statute with fixed length, staggered cycles, and statutory grounds for removal?0/10.0%

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section governs voter complaint procedures and election certification (post-election review by the election committee and reporting to the legislature). It does not address the composition, appointment, tenure, or removal of election commissioners or the election board. It contains no statutory definition of commissioner terms, term length, staggered cycles, or statutory removal grounds. No structural independence safeguard is present.

§ view source
2026-06-06
COMM.4Political-balance requirementIs the commission's composition required by statute to be politically balanced (party-balanced, supermajority-confirmation, or independent appointment by judiciary)?0/10.0%

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: § 48 addresses ballot marking rules and vote classification (party votes vs. personal votes), not commission composition or political balance requirements. It contains no institutional framework governing an election commission's structure, appointment, or balance.

FUND.3Foreign funding prohibitionIs foreign-source funding of the election authority (and election administration vendors, where applicable) prohibited by statute?0/20.0%

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section governs voting eligibility for Inatsisartut elections and addresses residency and abode requirements for citizens temporarily outside Greenland. It contains no provisions on funding of election authorities, election administration vendors, or foreign-source funding prohibitions. The section is purely about voter qualification criteria.

Staff Training

DatapointScoreRationale & evidenceSource
STAFF.1Career professional staffIs the election authority's career staff (professional employees, not political appointees) protected by civil-service or analogous merit-based statute?0/10.0%

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 9 establishes a municipal electoral board (valgbestyrelse) composed of the mayor and two municipal council members selected by proportional representation—all political appointees with no statutory civil-service protections. The statute permits delegation to municipal administration but provides no framework protecting career staff from political replacement, merit-based hiring, or other civil-service safeguards. The section addresses composition and conflict-of-interest procedures but does not establish statutory protections for professional election staff.

STAFF.2Mandatory trainingIs training for election officials and poll workers required by statute, with content and frequency defined?0/10.0%

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section § 2 governs voter eligibility for temporarily absent persons, not election administration staff training. It contains no statutory requirements, content standards, or frequency provisions for training of election officials or poll workers. The section is entirely outside the scope of staff governance.

CERT.1Certification process codifiedIs the voting-equipment certification process (criteria, evaluators, timeline, public-comment period) codified in statute or regulation?0.5/150.0%

The section requires that the digital system be 'approved by the Electoral Board' (Valgnævnet), establishing a supervisory role for an oversight body. However, the statute does not codify the criteria, evaluator qualifications, timeline, public-comment procedures, or other procedural safeguards for certification. Only the fact of approval is mandated, not the process.

CERT.2Recertification triggersAre recertification triggers (after material updates, after defects discovered, on a fixed schedule) codified?0/10.0%

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 24 concerns voter registration list maintenance and appeals, not vendor oversight or election system recertification. It establishes procedural rules for voter eligibility determinations and administrative review, with no reference to vendors, voting systems, equipment certification, or recertification triggers following material updates, defects, or fixed schedules.

§ view source
2026-06-06
CERT.3Decertification grounds & procedureAre the grounds for revoking certification, and the procedure for doing so, defined in statute?0/10.0%

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 19 addresses candidate nomination withdrawal procedures and voter endorsement rules. It contains no language concerning vendor certification, decertification grounds, revocation procedures, or vendor oversight mechanisms. The criterion requires statutory definition of grounds and procedures for revoking vendor certification; this section is silent on vendor regulation entirely.
