EVCIElection Voter-Confidence Index

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This statute addresses sample/instruction ballots at polling places on election day—specifically ballots showing the voting machine layout. It does not establish a statutory requirement for a voter pamphlet or analog publication containing candidate and ballot-question information with defined content and distribution requirements. Sample ballots used at polling places for instruction purposes are distinct from comprehensive voter information pamphlets. The statute mandates the provision and form of sample ballots but does not codify pamphlet content requirements (e.g., candidate statements, ballot measure summaries) or distribution procedures (e.g., mailing to all voters, public availability timelines). Dual scholars would conclude this section addresses procedural aspects of polling-place materials, not a voter information pamphlet framework.

No matching sections in corpus.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This statute addresses procedures for contesting a candidate's qualifications during the primary election process, including petition filing timelines, executive committee review, and judicial appeal mechanisms. However, it does not contain any requirements regarding public accessibility of candidate-filing documents (nominating petitions, eligibility certifications) or any defined timeline for making such documents publicly accessible. The statute focuses on the dispute resolution process rather than establishing transparency or accessibility requirements for candidate filing materials. CAND.1 requires statutory codification of public access to candidate-filing documents within a defined timeframe; this section does not address that criterion.

The statute codifies a notification procedure for candidate withdrawal after ballot approval (§ 23-15-295), specifying that executive committee officials must promptly notify affected county committees. However, the criterion asks about 'public-notice procedure,' and this statute only mandates internal notification to county executive committees, not a procedure for notifying the general public. The statute addresses withdrawal before printing and internal coordination after printing, but does not explicitly codify a public-notice mechanism for informing voters about disqualifications or withdrawals after ballots are printed. The phrase 'forthwith notify' provides timing language but targets institutional actors, not voters.

The statute codifies a pre-election notification requirement with clearly defined timing and content delivery methods. The requirement specifies: (1) timing—notice published three successive weeks with first notice at least 30 days before election, and posted notices at least 21 days prior; (2) content method—newspaper publication and posting at three public places including city/town/village hall; (3) election date is established in the governing authority's order and is between 30-45 days after order adoption. The section establishes when elections occur (subsection 2) and mandates specific notice procedures with temporal requirements. While the statute does not explicitly enumerate every detail (such as polling place locations in this specific section), it establishes the notification framework, timing requirements, and delivery methods in statute.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section (Miss. Code § 23-15-531.1) addresses minimum technical requirements for DRE (Direct Recording Electronic) voting systems, including voter verification, accessibility, and audit capacity. It does not contain any provisions related to polling-place change notifications, voter notification timelines, or procedures for informing voters of changes to their polling locations. The section is entirely focused on the mechanical and functional specifications of voting machines, not on voter communication or notification procedures. It therefore does not satisfy CRITERION CODE NOTIF.2, which requires statutory requirements for individual notice of polling-place changes within a defined timeframe.
