No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section is a definitions/interpretation clause that defines key terms used throughout the electoral law (such as 'voter,' 'election,' 'electoral district,' 'candidate,' etc.). It does not address citizen rights to re-tally votes from published precinct data, ballot transparency, verification procedures, or any mechanism for independent verification of election results. The section is entirely definitional in nature and is irrelevant to the criterion.

The section criminalizes unauthorized tampering with ballot boxes and ballot bundles used in elections, imposing up to six months imprisonment or a fine of up to £450. However, the criterion asks specifically about 'device access,' which in the context of election hardware typically refers to electronic voting systems or counting equipment, not physical ballot boxes. The statute addresses ballot tampering but does not explicitly address electronic device access or cybersecurity-related unauthorized access.

“άνευ εξουσίας καταστρέφει, λαμβάνει, ανοίγει ή άλλως επεμβαίνει επί οιασδήποτε κάλπης ή δέσμης ψηφοδελτίων εν χρήσει ή προτιθεμένων όπως χρησιμοποιηθούν διά τους σκοπούς εκλογής”

The section requires the election officer to compile a detailed tally statement immediately after vote counting, recording specific numerical results. However, the statute does not explicitly mandate that this record be public, signed, or maintained as an append-only log. While the transparency framework requires candidate observation during counting, it does not establish a legally required public append-only event log with cryptographic integrity.

The section explicitly requires that voters proceed to a designated area where they secretly mark their ballot in private ('μυστικώς'), which directly guarantees ballot secrecy and prevents linkage between voter identity and their ballot choice. This is a binding legal obligation established in the statute.

“Ο εκλογεύς επί τη λήψει του ψηφοδελτίου προχωρεί προς το επί τούτω ορισθέν μέρος ένθα μυστικώς σημειοί επί του ψηφοδελτίου”

Section 29(7) addresses accessibility for blind and disabled voters by permitting them to vote alone or with assistance of their choice, and allows the Commissioner to arrange technology and equipment where necessary. However, the provisions are discretionary rather than mandatory at every polling place, and they focus on procedural accommodations rather than establishing comprehensive accessibility standards that must be present at all polling locations.

“Τυφλός ή ανίκανος εκλογέας μπορεί να ψηφίσει μόνος του, αν το επιθυμεί, δηλώνοντας ότι είναι σε θέση να το πράξει.”

The statute establishes a minimum of thirty voters per polling center ('τουλάχιστον τριάντα εκλογείς'), which is a floor on voter density per polling place. However, this is an inverse metric—it sets a minimum number of voters per center rather than a maximum (i.e., a floor on poll density, not a ceiling on voters per location). This does not clearly establish a traditional polling-place density floor (minimum number of centers per voter population or per geographic area). The provision addresses voter allocation to centers rather than requiring a minimum number of centers for a given population or area.
