The Department of
the Secretary of State has budgeted $173,500 to conduct each scheduled
referendum election for the 2009-2010 election cycle. This proposal requires a June 2010
referendum election which will require an All Other appropriation of $173,500
in fiscal year 2010. Included in this
is the cost to produce and deliver ballots of a standard size to the 503
municipalities, along with the costs of producing, distributing and
advertising the Citizen’s Guide to the Referendum Election and producing and
providing other forms, materials and instructions. For a referendum-only election a
standard-sized ballot of 14 inches can accommodate up to 12 questions. If the size or number of the ballot
questions exceeds these parameters and requires the production and delivery
of a second referendum ballot the cost would increase by $107,250. |
