| 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? | 1/1100.0% | Lithuania mandates pre-election publication of the candidate lists and election numbers in the Valstybės žinios (Official Gazette) at least 30 days before the elections (§ 44, § 45) with defined content; the Central Electoral Commission additionally publishes voter information online. “With not less than 30 days prior to the elections, the Central Electoral Committee shall publish in the Valstybės žinios” | § view source 2026-05-23 |
| INFO.2Multilingual ballot requirementAre the triggers for multilingual ballots and voter materials set by statute (population thresholds, language-minority criteria)? | 0/10.0% | No matching sections in corpus (FTS returned 0 candidates) — concept not codified in this jurisdiction's election statute. | no FTS match 2026-05-23 |

| CAND.1Candidate-filing public accessAre candidate-filing documents (nominating petitions, eligibility certifications) required by statute to be publicly accessible within a defined time? | 1/1100.0% | § 44 (Seimas Election Law) and § 45 (EP Election Law) mandate publication of candidate lists and per-candidate information in the official gazette Valstybės žinios at least 30 days before election day — public access on a defined timetable. “With not less than 30 days prior to the elections, the Central Electoral Committee shall publish in the Valstybės žinios” | § view source 2026-05-23 |
| 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 section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: FTS surfaced the campaign-accounting provision; the surfaced section does not codify a public-notice procedure for a candidate who is disqualified or withdraws after the ballot is printed. | § view source 2026-05-23 |

|---|---|---|---|
| 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% | Lithuania codifies pre-election information piecewise — § 11 (permanent polling-district formation), § 29 (voter-list access at least 25 days before the election with inquiry telephones), § 44 (candidate-list publication 30 days before), § 67 (postal-voting start 5 days before); not a single consolidated notice-of-election mandate. | § view source 2026-05-23 |
| 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: Lithuania's polling-district formation is permanent under § 11, so a polling-place change between elections is rare; the surfaced section covers special voting in medical and social-care facilities, not an individual-notice procedure for a polling-place change. | § view source 2026-05-23 |
