Nov-11 General Referendum Standard
The Secretary of State's budget includes sufficient funds to accommodate one ballot of average length for the general election in November.  If the number or size of the referendum questions requires production and delivery of a second ballot, an additional appropriation of $107,250 may be required.
Fiscal Detail and Notes
If approved by the voters, this constitutional amendment would change the timing of redistricting beginning in 2021.  This would represent a shift of costs from fiscal year 2022-23 to fiscal year 2020-21.  Current estimates of the costs to the Legislature of redistricting are $400,000.
