A candidate who is nominated under subsection (a) of this section or files a petition under subsection (b) of this section will be considered a provisional candidate for election until the Commissioner has made the determination that the candidate is qualified under paragraph (d)(5) of this section.
The State Bureau of Identification must provide, within 10 days of the State Bureau of Identification's receipt of the candidate's request, a report of the candidate's criminal history record or a statement that the State Bureau of Identification's Repository contains no information relating to the candidate.
The information received by the Commissioner from the State Bureau of Identification under this section is not a public record as defined in Chapter 100 of Title 29.
The criminal history background check must be paid by the candidate but may be reimbursed to the candidate as an authorized campaign expenditure under this title.
The Commissioner must determine a minimum of 15 days before the special election that a candidate is qualified under Section 21 of Article II of the Delaware Constitution before a candidate's name may be listed on a special election ballot.
