Article 89(4-3)(1) of Kazakhstan's Election Law explicitly requires district election commissions to publish candidate registration information in local mass media within a defined timeframe (not later than the seventh day after registration). The statute codifies a mandatory public disclosure requirement that includes candidate identifying information, position, workplace, residence, and party affiliation. This satisfies the criterion because it establishes a statutory obligation to make candidate-filing information publicly accessible within a specified time period.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 34 addresses private financing of elections and does not codify any public-notice procedure for candidate disqualification or withdrawal after ballots are printed. While the section mentions that withdrawal of candidature triggers refund of election funds (clause 7), it contains no provision requiring publication or notification to the public of such disqualifications or withdrawals. The article focuses entirely on election fund management, banking procedures, and financial constraints. The criterion requires codified statutory procedures for notifying the public when candidates are disqualified or withdraw post-ballot-printing. This section does not address voter notification, ballot correction procedures, or public communication requirements related to candidate status changes.

Article 38(2) does codify a statutory requirement for voter notification with explicit timing (10 days for general elections, 5 days for local elections) and specifies content (time and place of voting). However, the criterion requires notification of three elements: date, polling place, AND registration deadline. The statute addresses date and polling place but does not mandate notification of registration deadline as part of the pre-election notice requirement. The notification mechanism (mass media and other ways) is also specified. The section partially satisfies NOTIF.1 because it establishes timing and content for notification but incompletely covers all required notification elements (missing registration deadline specifically).

“Precinct election commission shall notify voters via mass media and in other ways about the time and place of voting not later than ten days before the day of election; and not later than five days before the day of election of members of local self-government bodies other than Maslikhats.”
