No matching sections in corpus.

The section codifies judicial review with defined standing (aggrieved candidate who would have won but for error), venue (Michigan Supreme Court with original and exclusive jurisdiction), and timeline (48-hour filing deadline, ruling by day before electors convene).

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section concerns penalties for obstructing election challengers; it does not address the existence or mandate of an election commission.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Appointment is by the governor with senate confirmation — both are executive/legislative, but the judiciary is not involved. While there is partisan balance (2 from each major party) and legislative consent, this does not constitute multi-branch appointment in the sense of distributing nomination power across branches; the governor unilaterally nominates all four members.

Section lists grounds for vacancy (including removal for cause) on university/education boards, but does not define fixed term length or staggered cycles, and these are not election commissioner positions.

“Death of the incumbent; his resignation; his removal from office for cause”

This section addresses vacancy-filling procedures but only references 'the political party entitled to fill the vacancy' without itself establishing the party-balance composition requirement. The actual balance requirement is in a different section, so this provision alone does not codify political balance.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section governs how candidates may use public campaign financing funds, not the election authority's operational budget. It does not establish an independent funding line for the election administration body.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section establishes the state campaign fund (public financing for gubernatorial campaigns) with annual appropriation cycles ('appropriated annually from the general fund of this state ... each year in which a governor is elected'); does not establish multi-year budgeting for election administration.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section governs separate segregated funds for political purposes (campaign-finance), not foreign-source funding of the election authority.

Establishes the elections bureau under a director appointed under civil-service regulations; statute covers the director's appointment but does not in this section enumerate civil-service protection for the bureau's career professional staff (though Michigan Const. Art XI § 5 separately applies civil service to most state employees).

“continues under the supervision of a director of elections, to be appointed by the secretary of state under civil service regulations”

Mandates training schools conducted by the director of elections before each general November election (and other elections as advisable) for county/city/township clerks with content tied to conducting elections under election laws; subsections (2)-(4) extend to clerk-trainers and continuing-education courses.

“shall conduct training schools throughout this state before the general November election, and before other elections as the director considers advisable, for county clerks and their representatives with respect to the conducting of elections in”

No matching sections in corpus (FTS returned 0 candidates) — concept not codified in Michigan election or campaign-finance statute.

The statute codifies the certification process: it designates the Board of State Canvassers as the evaluator, requires accreditation by an independent testing authority, mandates a field test, sets application fees, and provides for disapproval. Public-comment period is not specified, but criteria, evaluator, and procedure are codified.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses voter registration procedures (in-person, mail, online), not voting system vendor recertification triggers. It is unrelated to CERT.2.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section concerns prohibitions on public bodies using public resources for campaign contributions/expenditures and local ballot question communications. It has no relation to vendor certification or decertification grounds and procedures.
