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 matching sections in corpus.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 51 addresses the procedural mechanics of numbering and ordering nomination papers received by the returning officer. It establishes the sequencing rule for valid nominations but contains no requirements regarding public accessibility of candidate-filing documents, no defined timeframe for making such documents publicly available, and no codification of transparency obligations. The section is silent on whether nomination papers must be disclosed to the public, when disclosure must occur, or under what conditions access is granted. To satisfy CAND.1, the statute must affirmatively require public accessibility within a defined time; this section merely establishes internal administrative procedure for the returning officer's handling of papers.

Section 55 of the Electoral Act 1992 explicitly codifies the public-notice procedure for candidate withdrawal. It specifies: (1) the responsible actor (returning officer), (2) the timing requirement (immediately upon delivery of withdrawal notice), and (3) the action required (give public notice of the withdrawal). While this addresses withdrawal specifically rather than disqualification, the statutory framework clearly establishes a procedural rule for notifying the public of candidate status changes. The provision directly satisfies the codification requirement for public-notice procedures.

Section 170 of the Electoral Act 1992 amends the Electoral Act 1963 by codifying polling card delivery timing (not later than third day before polling day) and addressing requirements. However, this section addresses only the mechanics of polling card delivery to a specific address, not a comprehensive pre-election notice requirement that would include election date, polling place, and registration deadline. The statute specifies WHEN cards must arrive (timing) but does not enumerate what CONTENT must be included in the notification itself (e.g., polling location, registration deadlines, election purpose). While polling card delivery is a form of voter notification, the criterion requires definition of both timing AND content for a complete pre-election notice framework. This amendment partially satisfies by codifying delivery timing but fails to specify the substantive content requirements of the notice itself.

“A polling card shall be addressed to the elector at the address in respect of which he is registered in the register of presidential electors and shall be delivered at that address not later than the third day before the polling day.”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 94(3) requires only 'public notice' of polling station locations and elector allotments, not individual notice to voters whose polling place has changed between elections. The statute does not establish a requirement to notify individual voters of polling-place changes, nor does it specify a defined timeframe for such notification. The provision addresses general public notice of polling station details, not the specific procedural requirement of individual voter notification when a polling place changes from one election to another.
