EVCIElection Voter-Confidence Index

This section requires county election boards to make sample ballots available to the public, which partially addresses the voter information requirement. However, it does NOT establish: (1) a dedicated voter pamphlet or analog publication, (2) specific content requirements for ballot information beyond what is on the sample ballot itself, (3) distribution mechanisms or timing, (4) candidate information requirements, or (5) ballot-question explanation requirements. The statute merely requires availability of sample ballots without specifying their content, format, or how they must be disseminated. This falls short of a comprehensive statutory requirement for a voter information pamphlet with enumerated content requirements as contemplated by the criterion. The language 'other data as he deems necessary' is discretionary rather than prescriptive.

No matching sections in corpus.

This section prescribes Declaration of Candidacy form requirements and content (items 1-10, voter registration verification, oath, criminal history disclosures) that must be filed with the Secretary of the State Election Board. Subsection F mandates that optional candidate contact information 'shall be made available to the public' if provided. However, the statute does not explicitly require the complete Declaration of Candidacy documents themselves to be publicly accessible, nor does it specify a defined time frame for public access to filed candidacy documents. The statute establishes detailed content requirements for what forms must contain, but the criterion requires both public accessibility AND a defined time period. The partial public access mandate in subsection F addresses accessibility for supplemental information only, not the full filing documents. The statute satisfies the content-enumeration aspect of procedural clarity but falls short on the accessibility-timing requirement.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section codifies the procedural requirements for candidate withdrawal (who may withdraw, signature requirements, notarization, filing deadline), but it does not codify any public-notice procedure regarding how the withdrawal or disqualification must be communicated to voters after ballots are printed. The statute addresses the filing mechanism with the election board but contains no provisions requiring notice to the public, posting of withdrawal information, distribution of supplemental materials, or any other voter-facing notification procedure. The criterion specifically asks whether the public-notice procedure is codified, and this section only addresses the internal filing procedure.

This section establishes timing (100 days before regularly scheduled elections; as soon as practicable for others) and content requirements (list of ballot measures and offices, instructions for voting). However, it focuses narrowly on federal write-in absentee ballot information rather than comprehensive pre-election voter notification. The statute does not explicitly codify requirements to notify voters of polling place locations, registration deadlines, or other core election date information that NOTIF.1 seeks. While it addresses ballot content and instructions, it does not satisfy the full scope of pre-election notice requirements (date, polling place, registration deadline). The provision is statutorily anchored with defined timing and partial content specifications, but incomplete for the criterion's full scope.

Section 26-3-118(5) explicitly requires written notification to each registered voter affected by precinct boundary changes (which include polling place changes). The statute mandates that the county election board secretary notify voters of the transfer in writing and simultaneously issue a new voter identification card. While the statute does not specify a precise number of days for delivery of the individual notice letter (it specifies 30 days for posting/mailing notices of the change itself before effectiveness), the requirement for written individual notice to affected voters is unambiguous and codified. This satisfies the criterion that polling-place-change notice be statutorily required, as the notification obligation is clearly mandated by law.
