EAIElectoral Access Index

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses qualifications and training requirements for election board members operating mechanical voting systems, and an emergency exception to those requirements. It does not address the appointment process, term length, political composition balance, or multi-branch oversight structures that define election administration independence. The criterion requires codification of independence mechanisms; this section codifies only operational competency.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses polling place establishment for elderly residential developments, not the constitutional status of age and residency requirements for voting eligibility. It contains no discussion of whether voting age or residency thresholds appear in Nevada's constitution versus statute alone. The section is entirely procedural regarding polling place location and is unrelated to the criterion's focus on constitutional grounding of eligibility rules.

The section establishes a statutory disqualification criterion (mental incompetence) with a high evidentiary standard (clear and convincing evidence) and requires a specific judicial finding in a court order, satisfying the enumeration and judicial procedure elements. However, the section does not address restoration of voting rights or the duration of disqualification—how or when a person can regain eligibility if circumstances change. This omission of a defined restoration procedure prevents a full score.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: The section requires candidates to affirm that their civil rights have been restored if they have a felony conviction, but it does not codify any procedure for restoration itself—no statutory deadlines, no automatic restoration mechanism, and no cure pathway. The statute only establishes a candidacy eligibility rule that presupposes restoration has occurred elsewhere; it does not govern the restoration process.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses technical procedure for verifying signatures via computer-generated facsimiles but does not establish, define, or set the voter ID requirement itself. It assumes a signature verification requirement exists elsewhere in statute but does not ground or enumerate what identification is required at any voting stage. The criterion asks whether ID requirements are set in statute; this section merely facilitates one verification method without addressing statutory grounding of the underlying ID mandate.

Nevada Statute § NRS 293.277(2) exhaustively enumerates the acceptable forms of identification in statutory text, listing five specific categories (voter registration card, driver's license, DMV ID, military ID, and any governmental ID with signature and physical description/picture). The enumeration is set in statute rather than delegated to administrator discretion, satisfying the procedural-clarity requirement.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses public building access for political party committees and has no bearing on voter identification requirements or the availability of free state-issued ID. It does not discuss voter ID policy, cure procedures for rejected voters, or identification procedures in any electoral context.

The statute explicitly defines a cure procedure for voters without ID: they may provide required identification to the county or city clerk by 5 p.m. on the Friday following election day, at which point their provisional ballot must be counted. This is statutorily grounded, enumerated (specific deadline and method), and provides a clear remedy.

No matching sections in corpus.

The section explicitly sets the registration cutoff in statute at 14 days before the election. This is not delegated to regulation or administrative discretion; it is enumerated directly in the statutory text as a fixed deadline.

The statute exhaustively enumerates three distinct registration methods for city elections: (1) mail registration, (2) in-person registration at the city clerk's office or designated municipal facility, and (3) online registration via the Secretary of State's system. Each method is assigned a specific deadline, eliminating administrative discretion over which methods are available. The enumeration is complete and statutorily grounded.

The statute clearly defines a cure procedure for incomplete registration applications. When an application is found incomplete, the county clerk must notify the applicant of the missing information, and the applicant has a statutory 15-day window to provide that information, after which they are deemed registered as of the original submission date. This enumerated, time-bound cure mechanism satisfies the procedural criterion.

The section provides a statutory procedure for challenging a county clerk's objection to a defective application (subsection 8-9), involving notification and district attorney review within 5 business days. However, this addresses only applications with handwritten additions, erasures, or interlineations. The section does not establish a general right for voters to challenge rejection of complete applications or to challenge removal from the voter rolls. The cure/appeal mechanism is narrowly limited to one type of defect and does not comprehensively address rejection challenges as contemplated by REG.4.

NRS § 293.530 provides statutory enumeration of specific criteria for removal from rolls: notice requirement, postcard requirement, nonresponse, failure to update via automatic registration, and failure to vote within two general elections. The statute also defines inactivity status separately (paragraph g), with notice requirements and timing specified in statute. The criteria are concrete, not delegated to regulation, though the Secretary of State may adopt regulations for maintaining the inactive list structure.

This section is set in statute and provides an enumerated, multi-step procedure before cancellation: (1) written notice with a postcard providing an explicit cure mechanism (opportunity to respond with new address), (2) a 30-day response period before inactive designation, and (3) a two-election waiting period before final removal. The statute specifies the means of notice, the opportunity to cure via postcard response, and the temporal sequence. County clerks have no discretion to deviate from these steps; the procedure is mandatory and clearly delineated.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: NRS § 293.558 addresses disclosure restrictions and confidentiality of specific voter data elements (SSN, driver's license number, email address), but contains no provisions regarding data security infrastructure, encryption requirements, breach notification procedures, or access logging. The section is focused on what information may or may not be released to the public, not on how the registry itself is secured or how breaches are handled.

This section codifies in statute the triggers for language assistance by tying the requirement to 52 U.S.C. § 10503 (the Voting Rights Act's language-minority thresholds) and establishing a statutory fallback requiring assistance in at least the seven most commonly spoken languages plus American Sign Language when federal thresholds are not met. The obligation is mandatory ("shall") and the triggers are enumerated, satisfying the criterion's requirement that language assistance thresholds be codified in statute.

The statute clearly establishes the right to be assisted in voting by a person of the voter's choosing and statutorily enumerates the specific categories of people who are prohibited from providing assistance (employer/agent and labor organization officers/agents). This provides clear, exhaustive procedural rules without delegating to administrative discretion.

The statute explicitly codifies the right to assistance for voters unable to read or write English, enumerates prohibited assistants (employer and labor organization agents), and contains a defined ballot-secrecy protection requiring non-disclosure of casting information by the assistant. All procedural elements are set in statute rather than administrative discretion.

NRS § 293.273(1) sets polling-place hours by statute with mandatory language ('must open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.'), leaving no discretion to local administrators. The hours are enumerated exhaustively and apply uniformly to all elections under the title, with only a narrow exception cross-referenced to NRS 293.305.

This section addresses only the narrow circumstance when mail-in ballots are treated as provisional (first-time voters who register by mail and fail to provide ID), and references other statutory sections for identity verification requirements. It does not provide a complete, self-contained codification of the full mail-in voting procedure (application deadline, return methods, signature verification standards, and cure procedures). The section fragments the procedure across multiple NRS provisions rather than enumerating it exhaustively in statute.

NRS 293D.300 explicitly codifies the absentee voting framework for military-overseas voters in statute. It establishes enumerated eligibility criteria (covered voter, registered or simultaneous registration applicant), specifies application methods (federal postcard application, electronic equivalent, or Secretary-approved methods), prescribes deadlines (before poll closing time per NRS 293.273), and defines receipt procedures (timestamping of electronic submissions). The framework is statutory, not discretionary.

This section prescribes procedures for *notice of* vote center locations and restrictions on *establishing additional* locations after notice, but does not set the early voting period itself (start date, end date, or hours) by statute. The statute addresses location disclosure and administrative approval for changes, not the temporal scope of early voting eligibility.

The statute requires ballot drop boxes and addresses placement (within Indian reservation boundaries, approved by tribe), but delegates the actual criteria for placement, security, and chain-of-custody to the city clerk's general standards rather than enumerating them in statute. The phrase 'criteria the city clerk uses' leaves these procedural details to administrative discretion, not statutory definition.

NRS § 293.3082 provides a clear, statutorily-grounded procedure for provisional ballot casting that is enumerated exhaustively: it specifies the exact form contents required, the role of election board officers, the required affirmation and affidavit language, assignment of a unique identification number, provision of a receipt explaining how voters can track their ballot status through a free access system (NRS 293.3086), and documentation in the voter roster. The statute establishes both the right to cast a provisional ballot (with prerequisites in NRS 293.3081) and the adjudication mechanism (tracking via the free system with a unique identifier). All key procedural elements—statutory grounding, enumeration, and access to review—are present.
