EVCIElection Voter-Confidence Index

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section (Electoral Code art. 83) addresses the procedural documentation of voting results—specifically the minutes and reports that electoral bureaus must prepare after polls close. It details what information must be recorded in these minutes (voter counts, ballot paper counts, valid/invalid votes, etc.) and the procedures for signing, displaying, and transmitting these records. This relates to post-election reporting and administrative documentation, not voter education materials. The criterion requires a statutory requirement for a voter pamphlet or analog publication containing candidate and ballot-question information distributed to voters before elections. This section contains no reference to voter pamphlets, candidate information publications, ballot guides, or any pre-election voter communication materials. It is solely concerned with internal electoral bureau documentation and result certification procedures.

No matching sections in corpus.

The statute codifies public accessibility of the final registered candidate list with specific content requirements (name, surname, year of birth, political affiliation, profession, nominating party/block) and a defined availability mechanism (polling stations). However, the criterion asks about 'candidate-filing documents' (nominating petitions, eligibility certifications), not just the final registered list. Article 68(10) addresses publication of the registered list but does not explicitly require the underlying filing documents themselves—such as subscription lists (68(1)(b)), consent declarations (68(1)(d)), asset declarations (68(1)(e)), or health certificates (68(1)(g))—to be publicly accessible. The statute regulates document submission procedures and electoral body processing but does not codify public accessibility to the documents supporting registration. The publication requirement is limited to the final list outcome, not the candidate-filing documents that fed into that registration.

Article 72(4) codifies a procedural mechanism for notifying voters of candidate withdrawal or disqualification after ballot printing—specifically requiring a 'Withdrawn' stamp to be affixed at polling stations. This addresses the public-notice requirement at the point of voting. However, the statute does not codify a broader public-notice procedure beyond the polling-station stamp mechanism. It does not specify pre-election day notice to voters, media notification requirements, or other communication channels to inform the general public before voting occurs. The criterion asks whether the 'public-notice procedure' is codified; the section provides only a narrow procedural mechanism (polling-station notification) rather than a comprehensive public-notice framework. A scholar might argue this satisfies the literal requirement (notice is codified), while another might contend that notice only at the polling station, without advance public communication, does not constitute a full 'public-notice procedure.'

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses only the procedural requirement for Parliament to set a referendum date with 60-day advance notice. It does not establish statutory requirements for notifying voters of the election/referendum, including notification timing, content requirements (such as polling place information or registration deadlines), or the mechanisms by which such notifications must be communicated to voters. The criterion requires codification of voter notification rules with defined timing and content; this provision merely sets the internal parliamentary procedure for fixing the referendum date.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 35 of Moldova's Electoral Code addresses the composition, appointment, and organizational structure of electoral constituency councils and first-level electoral councils. It establishes timing requirements for council setup (e.g., 'at least 55 days before election day,' 'at least 40 days before the day of the election') and procedural rules for member appointment and election of council officers. However, the section contains no provisions regarding polling-place changes, voter notification of such changes, or any timeframe for notifying voters of relocated polling places. The criterion requires statutory codification of individual voter notice requirements when polling places change between elections. This section is entirely focused on internal electoral administration structure and does not address voter-facing notification obligations related to polling-place changes.
