N.C. Gen. Stat. § 163-278.69 establishes a statutory requirement to publish a Judicial Voter Guide (voter pamphlet analog). The statute codifies: (1) publication mandate ('The State Board shall publish'); (2) specified content requirements (functions of appellate courts, election laws, candidate information including place of residence, education, occupation, employer, bar admission date, legal/judicial experience, and candidate statement limited to 250 words); (3) distribution method and timing requirements (mailing to all residences or other effective means, distributed 7-28 days before one-stop voting for both primary and general elections). The statute also establishes content controls (Board may reject obscene, profane, or defamatory language with three-day resubmission opportunity) and includes a disclaimer requirement. This satisfies the dual requirement of statutory ballot-information content enumeration and defined distribution framework.

This statute addresses public accessibility of federal campaign finance reports (required under the Federal Election Campaign Act) for federal candidates, with a clearly defined timing requirement (end of the day received). However, CAND.1 specifically asks about 'nominating petitions' and 'eligibility certifications'—documents that establish candidacy itself. This statute does not address those core candidacy-filing documents; it addresses post-nomination financial disclosures. The statute satisfies the procedural clarity criterion for campaign finance report accessibility but does not codify public access to nominating petitions or eligibility certifications, which are the criterion's primary focus.

“To make the reports and statements filed with it available for public inspection and copying during regular office hours, commencing as soon as practicable but not later than the end of the day during which they were received”

The statute codifies procedural rules for candidate death occurring after ballot printing (notification to board of elections triggers specific ballot-handling procedures). However, the section is limited to death of candidates only and does not address disqualification or withdrawal. The statute specifies that votes for deceased candidates shall not be counted and describes ballot handling, but does not explicitly codify a public-notice procedure informing voters of the disqualification/death after ballots are printed. The statute mandates board actions upon notice of death but does not mandate affirmative public notification to voters about the post-printing candidate removal.

“If the ballots have been printed at the time the board of elections receives notice of the death, the ballots shall not be reprinted but votes cast for the deceased candidate shall not be counted for any purpose.”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: § 163-278.40H addresses notice requirements for candidate financial reporting compliance—specifically notification to candidates and treasurers about when campaign finance reports are due. It does not address voter notification about elections themselves, polling places, registration deadlines, or election dates. The statute governs internal compliance communications between election officials and candidates/political committees, not the procedural framework for notifying voters about upcoming elections. This section fails to satisfy NOTIF.1, which requires codification of voter notification requirements with timing and content specifications for election information.

North Carolina General Statutes § 163-128 explicitly codifies a statutory requirement for individual notice when a voter's polling place changes. The statute mandates that: (1) notice must be mailed to each registered voter affected by a precinct/polling place change; (2) the notice must be provided no later than 30 days prior to the primary or election; and (3) the notice applies specifically when voters 'will be assigned to a different voting place.' This satisfies the criterion's requirement for a statutory mandate to provide individual notice within a defined timeframe. The 30-day requirement is clearly specified and enforceable.

“No later than 30 days prior to the primary or election, the county board of elections shall mail a notice of precinct change to each registered voter who as a result of the change will be assigned to a different voting place.”
