EVCIElection Voter-Confidence Index

NRS § 293C.530 establishes statutory requirements for sample ballot distribution and content, including specific formatting (12-point type minimum), inclusion of measure descriptions and financial effects with arguments for and against (by reference to NRS 295.205/295.217), and polling place information. However, the criterion asks for a 'voter pamphlet (or analog) with candidate and ballot-question information.' This statute addresses sample ballots distributed to voters and references candidate information (incumbent designation per NRS 293.2565) and ballot measures, but does not establish comprehensive candidate biographical information, statement content requirements, or a unified 'pamphlet' format comparable to traditional voter guides. The statute creates a distribution framework for sample ballots with some content mandates, but does not fully enumerate candidate-filing information requirements or establish a complete ballot-information pamphlet analogous to what the criterion contemplates. It is a partial statutory framework for ballot information distribution rather than a full voter pamphlet system.

NRS § 293.122 defines 'voting materials' to include materials that may be translated under regulations adopted by the Secretary of State (NRS 293.46875), but this definition section does not itself codify the triggers for multilingual ballots. The criterion requires that 'triggers for multilingual ballots and voter materials' be 'set by statute' (population thresholds, language-minority criteria). This section references external regulations and another statute (293.46875) rather than enumerating the triggers within the statute itself. To fully satisfy the criterion, the statutory language would need to directly state the population or language-minority thresholds that trigger multilingual requirements, not defer to regulatory adoption. The section demonstrates awareness of multilingual obligations but lacks the direct statutory codification of triggering criteria.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: NRS § 294A.006 defines 'Committee for the recall of a public officer' but does not address candidate-filing documents, nominating petitions, eligibility certifications, or public accessibility requirements. This section concerns recall committee definitions for campaign finance purposes, not the procedural framework for candidate filing or the public accessibility of filed documents. The criterion requires statutory codification of public access to candidate-filing documents within a defined time; this section contains none of that content.

NRS § 293.184(2) directly codifies a public-notice procedure for when a disqualified candidate's name appears on the ballot after the deadline for changes has passed. The statute specifies: (1) the trigger condition (disqualification under subsection 1 with name already on ballot due to missed deadline), (2) the responsible parties (appropriate election officers), (3) the notification method (posting a sign at each polling place), and (4) the content requirement (informing voters of the disqualification and that the person is disqualified from entering office). This satisfies the criterion's requirement that the public-notice procedure be codified in statute.

This section codifies a pre-election notification requirement in statute with both timing and content clearly defined. The timing requirement specifies 'Immediately upon receipt' of the certified candidate list and publication 'once a week for 2 successive weeks.' The content requirements enumerate three mandatory elements: (1) election date, (2) polling place locations, and (3) polling place hours. The statute also establishes the medium (newspaper of general circulation) and provides an alternative publication method. This satisfies the criterion's requirement that notification rules and timing be codified in statute with defined content.

NRS § 293C.530(3) establishes a statutory requirement for individual notice of polling place changes. The statute codifies two alternative notification methods: (a) mailing individual notices to registered voters no sooner than 10 days before sample ballot distribution, or (b) including a notice on the sample ballot itself in bold type. The timeframe is defined (10 days before sample ballot distribution, which itself must occur before the mail ballot deadline under NRS 293C.263). This satisfies the criterion's requirement for statutory notification rules with defined timing for polling place changes.
