|---|---|---|---|
| 2.1Hardware tamper standardAre tamper-evident or tamper-responsive hardware standards mandated? | 0/50.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section of the DPRK Constitution addresses tariff policy and economic protectionism. It contains no provisions concerning tamper-evident or tamper-responsive hardware standards, which are unrelated to the subject matter of this constitutional article. | § view source 2026-06-01 |

Post Election Audit

|---|---|---|---|
| 3.1Mandatory auditIs a post-election audit legally required for every election? | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section concerns the appointment and dismissal of prosecutors by the Supreme Prosecutor's Office. It has no relevance to post-election audits or electoral procedures. The statute text addresses prosecutorial authority, not audit requirements for elections. | § view source 2026-06-01 |
| 3.2Audit methodWhat audit method is mandated? | 0/50.0% | No matching sections in corpus. | no FTS match 2026-06-01 |
| 3.3Audit triggers beyond mandatoryDoes law trigger additional audits on close margins or sworn challenges? | 0/10.0% | No matching sections in corpus. | no FTS match 2026-06-01 |
| 3.4Public observation of auditAre parties, media, and citizens granted observer access to the audit? | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 159 of the DPRK Socialist Constitution addresses judicial proceedings and the right of the defendant to legal defense, establishing that trials are open and can only be closed in accordance with law. This provision concerns judicial trial transparency, not post-election audit procedures or observer access to election audits. The section is not relevant to the criterion regarding public observation of election audits. | § view source 2026-06-01 |
| 3.5Binding forceAre audit results legally binding on the final certified result? | 0/10.0% | No matching sections in corpus. | no FTS match 2026-06-01 |
Software Verifiability

|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1Source code disclosureIs voting system source code legally accessible? | 0/50.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses judicial proceedings transparency and the right to defense counsel. It has no relevance to voting system source code disclosure or software verifiability in elections. The criterion concerns election technology transparency, which is not addressed in this constitutional provision about trial procedures. | § view source 2026-06-01 |
| 1.2Reproducible builds requirementMust the binary that runs in production be reproducibly buildable from public source? | 0/10.0% | No matching sections in corpus. | no FTS match 2026-06-01 |

| 1.5Post-election integrity checkDoes law grant a right to verify the actual running binary matches the committed one? | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the appointment and dismissal of prosecutors by the highest procuratorial office. It contains no language concerning election integrity, binary code verification, software, or any form of post-election verification procedure. The section is entirely unrelated to the criterion's focus on verifying that executed election software matches committed binaries. | § view source 2026-06-01 |

Voter Access
14.3% · 1/7| Datapoint | Score | Rationale & evidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.1Ballot secrecy guaranteeIs voter–ballot unlinkability legally guaranteed and enforceable? | 1/1100.0% | The section explicitly mandates secret ballot voting (비밀 투표) as a principle for elections at all levels of sovereignty organs. This directly guarantees the unlinkability between voters and their ballots, which is the core requirement of ballot secrecy. | § view source 2026-06-01 |
| 7.2Accessibility mandateAre accessibility standards (vision, motor, language) legally required at every polling place? | 0/50.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 65 of the DPRK Socialist Constitution addresses voting rights and eligibility criteria (age, citizenship status, disqualifications) but does not address accessibility standards or requirements at polling places for citizens with disabilities. The section is about who may vote, not how polling places must be equipped or operated. | § view source 2026-06-01 |
| 7.3Polling-place density floorIs there a legal floor on polling places per N voters or per geographic area? | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses election principles (general, equal, direct elections by secret ballot) but contains no provision regarding polling-place density, geographic distribution of polling places, or any floor requirement for the number of polling places relative to voter population or area. | § view source 2026-06-01 |
