| INFO.1Statutory ballot information pamphletIs there a statutory requirement to publish a voter pamphlet (or analog) with candidate and ballot-question information, with content and distribution defined? | 0/10.0% | 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. | § view source 2026-06-06 |

| CAND.1Candidate-filing public accessAre candidate-filing documents (nominating petitions, eligibility certifications) required by statute to be publicly accessible within a defined time? | 0.5/150.0% | The statute codifies that candidate names (those validly nominated) must be made public 'as soon as possible' (snarest muligt) and that publication occurs 'according to the election board's determination' (efter valgbestyrelsens bestemmelse). This satisfies the procedural requirement for public accessibility of candidate-filing information. However, the criterion asks whether 'nominating petitions' and 'eligibility certifications' are required to be publicly accessible. The statute addresses only the publication of candidate names themselves, not the underlying nominating documents or certification records. The timing is somewhat defined ('as soon as possible') but permits discretion in the method of publication ('according to the election board's determination'). This partially meets the criterion—candidate-filing results are publicly accessible with defined timing, but the statute does not explicitly require access to the filing documents themselves. | § view source 2026-06-06 |
| CAND.2Candidate disqualification publicationIf a candidate is disqualified or withdraws after the ballot is printed, is the public-notice procedure codified in statute? | 0/10.0% | No matching sections in corpus. | no FTS match 2026-06-06 |

|---|---|---|---|
| NOTIF.1Pre-election notice in statuteIs the requirement to notify voters of an upcoming election (date, polling place, registration deadline) set in statute with timing and content defined? | 0.5/150.0% | § 26 codifies timing (at least 3 weeks before election day) and location requirements (public place in municipality, at each polling station) for displaying voter registration lists (valglisten). This addresses polling place notification with defined timing. However, the section does not explicitly address notification of the election date itself, registration deadlines, or general voter notification requirements beyond list display. The statute specifies WHEN and WHERE lists must be posted but does not comprehensively address all elements of pre-election voter notification (election date announcement, registration deadline notice, or general notification mechanisms). The criterion asks whether statute sets requirements for notifying voters of 'date, polling place, registration deadline'—this section covers polling place information but not all three elements explicitly. | § view source 2026-06-06 |
| NOTIF.2Polling-place change noticeIf a voter's polling place changes between elections, is there a statutory requirement to provide individual notice within a defined timeframe? | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 15 of the Inatsisartutlov om valg til Inatsisartut addresses candidate nomination procedures, including filing deadlines, required information on nomination forms, and name-display rules. The section does not contain any provisions regarding polling-place changes, voter notification of polling-place relocations, or timeframes for such notices. NOTIF.2 requires a statutory requirement for individual notice to voters when their polling place changes between elections within a defined timeframe. This section is entirely focused on candidate filing procedures and contains no language addressing polling-place notification to voters. | § view source 2026-06-06 |
