Fiscal Detail and Notes
Requiring that an instant run-off voting system be established for gubernatorial races as of January 1, 2014 is likely to have the effect of increasing election costs incurred by the Department of Secretary of State; the amounts will depend on the status and costs of electronic voting systems at that future date and can not be determined at this time.
