Article 206 establishes a statutory requirement to publish candidate information through public posting (affichage) at commune voting locations and town halls. The statute codifies specific content requirements: name, given names, profession, domicile, and nationality must be included in large characters in the form of the electoral ballot. However, this section addresses posting/notification of candidates rather than a comprehensive voter pamphlet or ballot information guide. The statute requires publication of candidate lists but does not establish a formal 'pamphlet' format or define broader ballot-question information requirements beyond candidate details. The provision satisfies the procedural clarity requirement for candidate-filing information accessibility through statutory-defined public posting, but falls short of establishing a full ballot information pamphlet framework with comprehensive content enumeration and distribution procedures.

“L'affiche reproduit en gros caractères, en la forme du bulletin électoral tel qu'il est déterminé ci-après, le nom des candidats ainsi que leurs prénoms, profession, domicile et nationalité.”

Article 206 addresses public posting of the candidate list and specifies that it must be displayed 'immediately' ('immédiatement') in all voting locations with candidate names, first names, profession, residence, and nationality in large characters. This satisfies the public accessibility requirement with a defined timeline ('immediately'). However, the statute does not explicitly address nominating petitions or eligibility certifications as distinct filing documents required to be publicly accessible. The provision focuses on the final candidate list posting rather than the underlying candidate-filing documentation (nomination papers, certification of eligibility). The section establishes that candidate information becomes publicly accessible through mandatory posting, but does not codify requirements for public access to the nominating petition documents themselves or establish a specific timeframe beyond 'immediately.' Under the dual-scholar test, one scholar would find this satisfies the criterion because candidate information is statutorily required to be publicly posted with specificity about what information must be included; another would argue it only partially satisfies because it addresses the final list posting but not the underlying filing documents or their accessibility timeline.

“la liste des candidats est immédiatement affichée dans toutes les localités de vote de la commune. L'affiche reproduit en gros caractères, en la forme du bulletin électoral tel qu'il est déterminé ci-après, le nom des candidats ainsi que leurs prénoms, profession, domicile et nationalité”

Article 203 addresses the specific scenario of candidate death occurring after the candidacy declaration deadline and at least 5 days before the election, requiring postponement of the election. It codifies a procedural notification requirement: voters must be convoked at least 8 days before the new election date through posted notices in all voting locations and via written press. However, the criterion asks about disqualification or withdrawal after the ballot is printed more broadly. This statute addresses only the narrow circumstance of death (and its specific trigger conditions), not the general framework for candidate disqualification or voluntary withdrawal. The notification procedure itself is codified (timing: 8 days minimum; method: notices and press), but the scope is limited to one specific triggering event rather than comprehensive coverage of post-ballot-printing candidate status changes. A scholar examining PROCEDURAL CLARITY would find the notification rules clearly stated for this scenario, but might question whether the criterion requires coverage of broader disqualification circumstances.

“Les électeurs sont convoqués, huit jours au moins avant le jour fixé pour le scrutin, par le président du bureau principal, moyennant affiches à apposer dans toutes les localités de vote de la commune et par la voie de la presse écrite.”

Article 68 of the Luxembourg Electoral Law clearly establishes a statutory requirement for pre-election voter notification with defined timing and content. The statute mandates that electoral colleges (collèges des bourgmestre et échevins) send notification letters to each voter at least five days in advance (timing: 'au moins cinq jours à l'avance'). The required content is explicitly enumerated: polling date ('le jour'), polling hours ('heures d'ouverture et de fermeture du scrutin'), polling location ('le local où l'élection a lieu'), and if multiple polling stations exist, the designation of the specific station where the voter must vote ('la désignation de celui où l'électeur est appelé à voter'). The statute further requires publication of this notice in each voting locality. While the section does not explicitly address registration deadlines, it satisfies the core elements of notification timing and content for election date, polling place, and hours. This is a procedurally clear statutory framework meeting the dual-scholar standard for codified notification rules.

“Les collèges des bourgmestre et échevins envoient sous récépissé, au moins cinq jours à l'avance, à chaque électeur une lettre de convocation indiquant le jour, les heures d'ouverture et de fermeture du scrutin, le local où l'élection a lieu, et, s'il y a plusieurs bureaux, la désignation de celui où l'électeur est appelé à voter.”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 234 establishes general voter convocation requirements (at least 8 days before elections via posted notices and press) but does not address polling-place changes or individual notice requirements when a voter's assigned polling location changes between elections. The statute specifies notice timing and methods for elections generally, but contains no provision requiring individual notification to voters whose polling place has changed. The criterion requires a specific statutory requirement for individual notice within a defined timeframe upon polling-place changes, which is absent from this section.
