| 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? | 0.5/150.0% | § 16 mandates display of the lists of nominated candidates, the pre-election programmes and per-candidate information at every polling station before election day; it is a polling-place display with defined content, rather than a mailed deliberative voter pamphlet with ballot-question explanations. “make available the information on each candidate referred to in this Law” | § view source 2026-05-22 |

| CAND.1Candidate-filing public accessAre candidate-filing documents (nominating petitions, eligibility certifications) required by statute to be publicly accessible within a defined time? | 0.5/150.0% | § 16 of the Saeima Election Law has every polling station display the lists of nominated candidates and pre-election programmes at least five days before election day; the underlying candidate-filing documents are archived (§ 17 Election Commissions Law) but not codified as publicly accessible within a defined time. “display announcements about the lists of nominated candidates and the pre-election programmes” | § view source 2026-05-22 |
| CAND.2Candidate disqualification publicationIf a candidate is disqualified or withdraws after the ballot is printed, is the public-notice procedure codified in statute? | 0.5/150.0% | § 13 of the Saeima Election Law codifies post-registration candidate deletion (ineligibility, death) and how a late-discovered ineligibility is handled — the name stays on the printed ballot and votes for that candidate are disregarded — but it does not codify a discrete public-notice-to-voters procedure. “voters shall be issued with ballot papers of the relevant list of candidates with the given name and surname of this candidate” | § view source 2026-05-22 |
