EIIElection Integrity Index

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section governs the announcement and verification of candidate nominations before election day, not post-election result reporting or provision of downloadable verification artifacts. It addresses publication of candidate names and communication to electoral boards, which does not involve certificates, device records, or result signatures related to vote tabulation.

The section mandates that voters fill out ballots by hand by marking with a cross, creating a hand-marked paper record. The statute further requires voters to fold the ballot before placing it in the ballot box (Stk. 9), and provides for ballot replacement if filled out incorrectly (Stk. 11), all of which preserve the integrity of the paper trail. This constitutes a legally required voter-verifiable paper record.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses preparations for voting, including publication of voting times, polling places, and candidate nomination deadlines, as well as election official record-keeping and ballot verification procedures. It does not address citizen rights to re-tally or access to published precinct-level voting data that would enable independent verification of results.

The statute requires ballot boxes to be capable of being locked or sealed, which provides a basic tamper-evident mechanism. However, the section does not specify logging, monitoring, or automatic response protocols, nor does it mandate tamper-responsive features that would automatically quarantine compromised hardware.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 42 establishes requirements for polling places, voting booths, and ballot boxes (their design, security, and functionality), but does not address chain-of-custody documentation or its public availability. The section concerns physical infrastructure and election-day conduct, not documentation procedures for ballot handling.

No matching sections in corpus.

The section mandates a recount (genoptælling) of votes on election day itself, requiring two consecutive counts to match before results are finalized. However, this is a same-day procedural recount rather than a post-election audit in the broader sense typically contemplated by election integrity standards, which usually involve statistical sampling, risk-limiting audits, or audits conducted after election day is complete.

“Umiddelbart efter optællingen af de afgivne stemmer foretages genoptælling af de afgivne stemmer.”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses in-person recounting of votes on election day to verify the initial count, which is a procedural verification step rather than a post-election audit method. It does not mandate any of the audit methods specified in the scoring rule (fixed-% hand recount, comparison audit, risk-limiting audit, or RLA with reconciliation).

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 57 addresses procedures for declaring elections invalid and ordering new elections when significant errors have occurred, and for correcting voter lists. It does not establish mechanisms for triggering additional audits based on close margins or sworn challenges; it only permits the Election Board (Valgnævnet) to invalidate an election if major errors are found. The provision is about election annulment and remedial procedures, not audit triggers.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section concerns the display of voter rolls (valglisten) prior to election day, not the conduct or observation of post-election audits. It is therefore irrelevant to the criterion regarding public observation of audit procedures.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses candidate alliances (kandidatforbund) for independent candidates in electoral registration. It contains no provisions regarding audit procedures, audit results, or binding force of audits on certified election results. The section is entirely unrelated to post-election audit requirements.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: § 49 addresses the validity criteria for ballots cast on election day and advance ballots, focusing on when ballots are deemed invalid (blank, unclear intent, illegally produced, or marked). It does not address publication, signing, or pre-election disclosure of ballot contests, layouts, or tabulation rules.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the role and responsibilities of the Electoral Commission (Valgnævnet) regarding election management, record-keeping, and publication of election information. It contains no provisions whatsoever concerning software verification, binary matching, source code verification, or technical integrity checks of election systems. The criterion concerns post-election software verification—a concept entirely absent from this administrative section about election procedures.

The statute requires that ballot counting be public and prohibits candidates from participating, establishing a transparency framework. However, the section does not explicitly grant party or civil-society observers procedural rights of access—it only mandates that counting occur publicly and, if fewer than two eligible voters attend, that two witnesses be called. Full procedural observer rights would require explicit provisions for access, inspection rights, or standing.

“Stemmeoptællingen er offentlig.”

No matching sections in corpus.

The statute requires that by the day after the election, the polling station leader must bundle ballots and send them to the electoral board. However, the section addresses transmission of physical materials to the electoral board rather than explicit publication of precinct-level results to the public. The requirement to transmit results by the next day suggests a timeline potentially within 24-48 hours, but the statute does not explicitly mandate public publication within a specific timeframe.

“Senest dagen efter valget sammenbinder afstemningslederen de afgivne stemmesedler”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section concerns candidate alliances and nomination procedures in Greenlandic election law. It does not address vendor contracts, contract duration, or procurement lock-in—topics entirely outside the scope of this electoral provision.

No matching sections in corpus.

The statute explicitly mandates that ballot secrecy ('valghandlingens hemmelighed') must be ensured ('sikret') and protected as a condition for any deviations from electoral procedures. This establishes a legal guarantee of voter-ballot unlinkability that the Electoral Board must maintain and enforce.

“valghandlingens hemmelighed og kontrol med valgets gennemførelse i det hele fortsat er sikret”

The section addresses accessibility for visually impaired voters by permitting them to request assistance from a person of their choice, and also provides general assistance for voters unable to complete the ballot independently. However, it does not establish comprehensive accessibility standards that are legally mandated at every polling place—it only describes accommodations available upon request rather than systematic accessibility requirements.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section establishes technical requirements for voting booths, ballot boxes, and polling place conduct (secrecy, lighting, writing implements, ballot security, and campaign restrictions). It does not address or establish any floor or minimum standard regarding the density, number, or geographic distribution of polling places relative to the voter population or area.
