No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: § 26-12-101 governs the procedural mechanics of filling congressional vacancies (writs of election, timing, concurrent elections) and does not address judicial review of election-authority decisions, standing, timelines, or venue for challenging administrative determinations. The section contains no accountability mechanism for judicial oversight of administrative actions.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 26-8-113 addresses recount procedures and the appointment of candidate agents, not the establishment or constitutional grounding of an election commission. It contains no language creating, authorizing, or defining the mandate of an election commission. This section falls outside the scope of COMM.1, which evaluates whether an election commission's existence and core mandate are constitutionally (rather than statutorily) established.

The statute provides for gubernatorial appointment with Senate confirmation, which involves two branches (executive and legislative) and thus prevents unilateral executive control. However, this structure is weaker than multi-branch appointment that would include the judiciary or structural party-balance requirements, and does not prevent a unified partisan legislature and governor from entirely controlling composition. The design provides some statutory safeguard but falls short of robust multi-branch insulation.

The statute establishes fixed four-year terms for county election board members, defined in statute with explicit length. Grounds for removal are also statutory: failure to attend five consecutive meetings or change in party affiliation. While terms are not explicitly staggered (which would further strengthen independence), the statute provides a clear statutory framework for term length and removal grounds that protects against arbitrary dismissal mid-term.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section contains campaign finance reporting requirements for candidate committees and does not address the composition, appointment, or political balance of any election commission. It specifies what information must be reported on contribution and expenditure forms, not structural governance of the commission itself. COMM.4 requires statutory language mandating the commission's political composition; this text provides none.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section prescribes procedures for independent presidential candidates and unrecognized political parties to appear on Oklahoma ballots. It contains no provisions regarding the election authority's budget structure, independent funding lines, or protection from mid-cycle reallocation. The section is entirely procedural and candidate-facing, not institutional.

The statute mandates training for precinct officials (inspectors, judges, clerks) at a defined frequency—at least biennially in even-numbered years, plus additional times as deemed necessary. While the Secretary retains discretion over method and curriculum, the training requirement itself is clearly statutory, binding, and covers the key categories of poll workers. This satisfies STAFF.2's requirement for mandatory, statutorily-defined training.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section governs voter registration methods (federal postcard applications and write-in absentee ballot declarations) and does not address voting-equipment certification processes, evaluators, timelines, or public-comment periods. It falls entirely outside the scope of CERT.1.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 26-4-109.2 addresses voter registration agency operations and procedures but contains no codified recertification triggers for any systems, equipment, or processes. The section does not establish fixed schedules, material-update thresholds, or defect-discovery procedures that would require recertification of voting systems, election infrastructure, or vendor products. This is an administrative procedure statute governing agency designation and voter registration form handling, not a certification or recertification framework.
