EVCIElection Voter-Confidence Index

This section establishes a statutory requirement for publishing voter information through an electronic website. The statute explicitly requires that the website include 'all information currently provided in the Utah voter information pamphlet' and mandates specific ballot-information content requirements enumerated in subsection (3) and (4), including: candidate names, qualifications, biographical information, ballot proposition text with markup, fiscal impact, and supporting/opposing arguments. The content requirements are clearly defined in statute, with submission deadlines codified in subsection (4)(a) (45 days before primary, 60 days before general election) and a one-business-day submission deadline to the lieutenant governor. This satisfies the criterion's requirement that content and distribution be defined in statute.

No matching sections in corpus.

The statute requires that conflict of interest disclosures be made publicly available on the website (Subsection 4), satisfying part of the candidate-filing public access requirement. However, the criterion asks whether 'candidate-filing documents (nominating petitions, eligibility certifications)' are required to be publicly accessible. This section addresses only conflict of interest disclosures, not the full range of candidate-filing documents specified in the criterion. Additionally, while public availability is mandated, the statute does not specify a defined timeline for when the lieutenant governor must post these disclosures after they are filed. The section establishes the requirement for public access but is narrower in scope than the criterion's full scope of 'candidate-filing documents' and lacks explicit timing requirements for publication.

“The lieutenant governor shall make the complete conflict of interest disclosure made by each candidate available for public inspection on the website.”

Section 20A-11-206(4) explicitly codifies the public-notice procedure for candidate disqualification. It specifies multiple notification mechanisms: notification to opposing candidates, email notification to eligible voters, posting on the lieutenant governor's website, and ballot removal if practicable. The section also addresses mailed ballots in subsection (5) by requiring written notice directing voters to the website for disqualification information. The statute clearly establishes when disqualification occurs (subsection 3(a)), what triggers the notice requirement, and the specific methods of notification, satisfying the criterion's requirement that the public-notice procedure be codified in statute.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section (UCA 20A-2-504) addresses voter registration removal procedures and deceased voter processing. It does not contain any provisions regarding pre-election notification to voters about upcoming elections, polling places, or registration deadlines. The section focuses entirely on administrative procedures for removing names from the official register based on various conditions (death, relocation, felony conviction, etc.). While the statute does reference notification procedures in Section 20A-2-505 (referenced multiple times), this particular section does not itself establish requirements for notifying voters of upcoming elections with timing and content definitions. To satisfy NOTIF.1, the statute would need to specify voter notification obligations regarding election dates, polling location information, and registration deadlines, which is absent from this section.

Section 20A-5-605(5)(b) requires notification of polling place changes, but only in emergency circumstances (when it is 'impossible or inconvenient' to hold the election at the designated place) and only through posting a proclamation at the original location with a stationed official. This does not satisfy the criterion because: (1) it does not apply to routine polling place changes between elections; (2) it lacks a defined timeframe for advance notice; (3) it requires reactive notification at the polling place on election day rather than individual advance notice to voters; and (4) it does not codify a statutory requirement for proactive individual voter notification within a specified period before the election. The statute addresses an emergency procedural rule for election-day logistics, not the advance notification system for anticipated polling place changes.

“If the poll workers move to a new polling place, the poll workers shall display a proclamation of the change and station a peace officer or some other proper individual at the original polling place to notify voters of the location of the new polling place.”
