Accountability

50.0% · 1/2
DatapointScoreRationale & evidenceSource
COI.1Conflict-of-interest disclosureAre commissioners and senior election staff required by statute to disclose financial interests (vendor relationships, party positions, candidate connections) publicly?0/10.0%

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 83 governs polling-place conduct and security authority of the bureau president during voting operations. It contains no provisions establishing conflict-of-interest disclosure requirements for commissioners or senior election staff, nor does it address financial interests, vendor relationships, party positions, or candidate connections. This is a procedural rule about election-day management, not an accountability mechanism.

COI.2Judicial review of administrative decisionsIs the right to seek judicial review of election-authority decisions codified, with standing, timeline, and venue defined?1/1100.0%

The section establishes a statutory right to judicial review of election administration decisions (voter registration errors) by codifying: (1) standing (any person wrongly inscribed, omitted, or struck from rolls), (2) venue (territorial justice of the peace), and (3) timelines (recourse to municipal college by May 10; notice requirements; supplementary revision provisions). This creates clear, judicially enforceable accountability for administrative action.

Toute personne indûment inscrite, omise ou rayée, peut exercer un recours devant le juge de paix territorialement compétent.

Commission

0.0% · 0/5
DatapointScoreRationale & evidenceSource
COMM.1Statutory grounding of commissionIs the election commission's existence and core mandate set in the constitution (rather than statute alone, regulation, or executive order)?0/20.0%

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses procedural duties of polling-place officials (assessor, secretary, bureau president) and reporting to local judges, not the existence or mandate of a national election commission. It contains no reference to constitutional or statutory grounding of any election commission's authority, composition, or mandate. The section is purely procedural.

COMM.2Multi-branch appointmentAre commission members appointed by multiple branches (legislature, judiciary, executive) such that no single branch unilaterally controls composition?0/10.0%

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 60 addresses the appointment of polling place assessors and staff at the local level, not the institutional structure of an election commission. The article prescribes that bureau presidents designate assessors from registered voters, but contains no provision for multi-branch appointment of commission members, nor does it establish a commission with statutory independence from executive control. This section governs operational polling procedures, not the institutional safeguards required by COMM.2.

COMM.3Term protectionAre commissioner terms defined in statute with fixed length, staggered cycles, and statutory grounds for removal?0/10.0%

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 287 addresses conflict-of-interest incompatibility and pension/compensation rules for Luxembourg public servants elected to the European Parliament. It contains no provisions establishing an election commission, defining commissioner terms, specifying removal procedures, or creating staggered appointment cycles. This section concerns eligibility and benefits, not institutional structure for election administration governance.

§ view source
2026-06-16
COMM.4Political-balance requirementIs the commission's composition required by statute to be politically balanced (party-balanced, supermajority-confirmation, or independent appointment by judiciary)?0/10.0%

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 126 addresses parliamentary compensation, benefits, and political leave for members of the Chamber of Deputies. It contains no provisions establishing a commission, defining its composition, requiring political balance, mandating multi-party appointment, or protecting against single-party capture. The section is entirely outside the scope of election administration governance and institutional structure.

Funding

DatapointScoreRationale & evidenceSource
FUND.1Independent funding lineIs the election authority's budget a separate statutory line item (not subject to mid-cycle reallocation by the executive branch alone)?0/10.0%

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 193 addresses eligibility conditions, forfeiture of office, and administrative procedures for removing officials who lose eligibility. It contains no provisions establishing an election authority budget, funding mechanisms, or statutory appropriations. The section is purely procedural and disciplinary in nature, entirely unrelated to funding structures.

FUND.2Multi-year funding cycleAre election infrastructure budgets set on a multi-year cycle (avoiding annual political renegotiation of election-administration money)?0/10.0%

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 88 addresses cost allocation for electoral operations among communes and the state, specifying which entity bears particular expenses (ballots, inquiry costs, polling infrastructure). It does not establish or reference a multi-year budgeting cycle for election administration; it merely allocates responsibility for discrete election-related expenditures on a per-election basis. No statutory framework for multi-year funding protection is provided.

Staff Training

0.0% · 0/3
DatapointScoreRationale & evidenceSource
STAFF.1Career professional staffIs the election authority's career staff (professional employees, not political appointees) protected by civil-service or analogous merit-based statute?0/10.0%

This section addresses seat allocation and tie-breaking procedures in vote counting, not election authority staffing or civil-service protections. It contains no information about whether career election staff are protected by merit-based statutes or civil-service law. To evaluate STAFF.1, one would need to examine provisions governing the election administration's employment framework, not electoral mechanics.

§ view source
2026-06-16
STAFF.2Mandatory trainingIs training for election officials and poll workers required by statute, with content and frequency defined?0/10.0%

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 194 of the Luxembourg Electoral Law establishes conflict-of-interest and eligibility restrictions for municipal council membership. It does not address training requirements for election officials or poll workers, their content, frequency, or any statutory mandate for such training.

§ view source
2026-06-16
STAFF.3Whistleblower protectionAre election-related whistleblower protections (for staff reporting irregularities) codified in statute?0/10.0%

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 126 of the Luxembourg Electoral Law addresses parliamentary compensation, benefits, and working conditions for elected members — it does not establish any statutory whistleblower protection framework for election administration staff. The section contains no language governing the reporting of irregularities, protection from retaliation, or safeguards for disclosure of misconduct by election officials.
